The Greg Susoreny Band is really excited about how well things are coming along. They will be shooting live videos of 5 songs off the album. This will give you a chance to see them performing songs off Greg's debut album. These videos will be on the bands website, myspace page and youtube. They plan on performing songs off the album early next year at venues in Colorado and other parts of the country.
Prior to putting The Greg Susoreny Band together, Greg spent part of last year in Nashville working on the pre-production of his album with Music Row Veteran Producer Jay Vernali. Greg states "I am so thankful I met Jay Vernali, his diverse background in playing and producing music was exactly what my music needed. I am also fortunate to have some of the best musicians in Nashville assisting with the pre-production process." Jay Vernali has been playing, arranging, engineering and producing music in Nashville since 1991. Jay states "this project is one of the best and most musical projects I've ever worked on! Greg writes deep lyrics, great melodies and he delivered spot on singing."
Greg Susoreny is a singer-songwriter and music producer born in Northwest Indiana. He grew up in Dallas, Texas and graduated from Indiana Universities School of Business. He developed a passion for music at a young age, where he began listening to many different styles of music. Greg states “When I’m writing or singing, my mind is able to escape from the everyday stresses of life. I have been able to focus more on the simple things in life through music.”
Greg started writing poetry in his early years and began putting his poetic thoughts to music while living in Dallas. He owned several businesses, one of which was a café, where musicians would perform on the weekends. He developed a good friendship with one of the musicians and started working on his songwriting and vocal skills.
In January of 2001, Greg moved to Miami and built a recording studio. He spent many hours in the studio learning the engineering and production side of the music business. He produced several artist demos, but felt an artistic void inside. During the initial stages of putting his lyrics to music, he received many compliments from other musicians and industry executives on his songwriting skills.
John Sambataro, guitarist and vocalist for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Dave Mason, was working on music in the studio with one of Greg’s engineers. Greg’s engineer played some of his music for John and he was very interested in playing guitar on a few songs. Greg and John developed an excellent relationship and started working on the pre-production process of Greg's music. John co-wrote a few melodies with Greg that will be on Greg's debut album. John states “Greg has a great talent for writing songs
