Greg Ralls; an ASCAP affiliated singer/songwriter/pianist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has nearly 20 years experience in the local music business. With hundreds of original songs, he is often compared favorably to Elton John, Norah Jones, Ben Folds, Ray Charles and other piano-oriented artists.
Greg has performed solo piano/vocal shows at many venues throughout the Philadelphia area, including World Café Live, Tin Angel, The Point and Steel City Coffeehouse, and has appeared in-studio on 93.7 WSTW FM in Wilmington. The station also plays his music regularly on its Hometown Heroes local music show and even recruited Greg to back 80s pop sensation Tiffany during a live radio performance.
Greg also works as a freelance studio pianist and vocalist for various local bands.

Pretty spiffy online crib ya got here! Okay...I was trying to sound cool...Did it work? No, probably not, right? Yeah, wellllllllllll...That's fine because I really just stopped by to remind you to add my FACEBOOK page (if you haven't already). I feel kinda bad advertising Facebook on Myspace, but then again, I'm shameless and that's life. So, if you're willing to put aside my "lack of cool" for a good time (no, not like the kind you read about on the bathroom wall...dirty mind), copy & paste FACEBOOK. COM/PEOPLE/LINDSAY_RUSH-MUSIC/788609305 into your web address thing up there ^. So simple and quick - like Pop-Tarts! : )
You may be pleasantly surprised at the varied age group at Eisley shows. We have grandparents that come with their grandkids, and everything in between. Hold your head hi, and enjoy!
I know it seems like I never leave comments unless I'm playing a show or something...and I guess this time is no different! What can I say? I'm a creature of habit.
Here's the 411 (wow...and the "Loser Award" goes to Lindsay Rush in the category of "People Who Use the Most Outdated Slang"):
FRIDAY, MARCH 7 APPEL FARM MUSIC & ARTS CENTER (the Gallery) ELMER, NEW JERSEY (30 mins. from Philly) 8:00 pm $7 www. AppelFarm. org
I'll be with my full band (acoustic setup) for the FIRST TIME EVER and we'll be playing some new songs! The fabulous Liz Longley is also playing that night.
Can you make it? Click that little "COMMENT BACK" link and let me know, okay?
Enjoy the last few week of winter (how's that for positive thinking : )!
I'm playing a show at the infamous venue - the Tin Angel in Philly on Oct. 13th! If you're able to be there, that would be AmAzInG!!! It's a hugely important show for me - and I mean huge like Britney's Spears' career before she walked around barefoot in a gas station restroom and let her infant drive. Okay, sorry. I got off-track. Basically, I just wanted to let you know about the show and also tell you that advanced tickets are recommended. You can get 'em here: TIX Come say hi after the show, k?!
Sounds great!! That's pretty cool. I will definitely go. As far as getting down there, I will have to get back to you on that. Definitely want to go though!

HAHA! I thought that might be part of your first post to me... TENNIS!!... I know we need to play. Today is a beautiful day for it too BUT I have plans. We will have to keep it in mind though!
