Having toured with Stevie Ray Vaughan's band Double Trouble (Chris Layton, Tommy Shannon) and Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsys drummer Buddy Miles, Greg V. smiled recalling all the years growing up in Woodbridge, VA playing guitar endlessly, never knowing where the journey would lead him... The journey accelerated the night he graduated from high school.

Many diverse recording sessions followed, such as: Melissa Etheridge, Gregg Rolie (Journey keys) and Michael Schrieve (Santana drummer). Levi's, Budweiser and Giorgio Perfume commercials were done alongside producer Walter Afanasieff (Mariah Carey, Celine Dion).

French star David Hallyday asked Greg V. to play throughout Europe for several more years followed by a beautiful 3 year musical vacation in Honolulu, HI playing 250 gigs a year with the islands premier rock band "The Piranha Brothers". Longing for an organic musical environment he made a move to Austin, Texas. Not knowing a soul in Austin he made friends quickly and within three months Double Trouble's Chris Layton called asking Greg V. to tour with Double Trouble in support of their CD release "Been A Long Time". This was followed by a Central and South American tour with Colin Hay, vocalist for Men At Work. .... Currently residing in Nashville, TN he has performed with artists Jewel, Hal Ketchum, Keith Urban, Wynonna Judd, Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts, LoneStar, John Rich of Big & Rich, Ashley Ray, Wade Bowen, Amy Dalley, James Otto, Shelly Fairchild, Luke Dick, The Bittersweets.
