A contemporary approach to the roots of American Music. A melting pot of rock, blues, soul, funk, and folk. This recipe consistently produces unique flavor and rediscovers honest musical sensibilities.
If you could combine the sounds of The Band, The Black Crowes and The Faces, you might just end up with The Green Onions. Formed by Corty Byron and some of his high school classmates in 2001, this five-piece rock outfit draws its influence heavily from the Rock and Roll back catalogue. Corty fronts the group with his soul-drenched vocal style, blues-based guitar licks and uniquely captivating stage presence. After various incarnations, the group’s current line up features Chris Gurreri on guitar, Mike Dinse on bass, Ffej Herb on Drums and Cort Byron Sr on organ (who also doubles as Corty’s father).
In the beginning, the band spent its time cranking out their favorite classic rock songs, while performing underage at the local bars and clubs. The group quickly decided it was time to focus on creating their own music and set out writing songs. After taking the top spot in two “Battle of the Bands” competitions, they were able to finance their first, self-titled studio album. Mostly performed live in the studio, the 12-song record showcased The Green Onions discovering their sound and received national and overseas radio airplay.
Following the release of their first album, The Green Onions began work on a two hour career-spanning tribute to Pink Floyd. This multimedia laser & light event called “Dark Side of the Onions” was a huge success. The band quickly sold out three performances at the LaserDome in Manheim, Pennsylvania. After this successful endeavor into the dark side, the Onions began work on their second 12-song album. Completely self-produced by The Green Onions, “Down The Drain” made its debut August 11, 2007 a raucous wall to wall crowd at the Appalachian Brewing Company in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. ”.
In the summer of 2009, Corty began recording a lot of the songs that would end up on his first solo album, titled, “Endless North”, at Sun Studios in Memphis, TN. The 10 song record from The Green Onions’ frontman, is slated for an early 2010 release.
In their time together, the band has shared the stage with artists such as The Doobie Brothers, Bruce Hornsby, Gin Blossoms, Vanilla Fudge, Hot Tuna, Project Object, The Disco Biscuits, Lez Zeppelin, The Bridge, The Brakes, Family Groove Company and The Badlees. The Green Onions continue to perform together as a group and are also gearing up for Corty’s new direction as a solo artist. They are currently touring locally and nationally while riding a wave of momentum unparalleled thus far in their career.
