InfluencesThe Greens are in fact a Blues-based life-form. Because that's where rock and roll came from...and that's what we play! But notable influences include: Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, Tom Waits, Parliament/Funkadelic, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, John Prine, Charlie Parker, Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Allman Brothers Band, Cream, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who, The Doors, The Band, The Grateful Dead, The Clash, Los Lobos, Cake, Beck, Black Sabbath, Black Crowes, and a whole lot of Black Music in general!!!
Sounds Like...Musical Awesomeness!!!! Take just a little bit of all 30 of the above influences, or "ingredients", mix them all together into big ol' pot, cook them up just right and you will have... The Greens! Dang! How can those songs taste so delicious?! They just do. A totally original and unique sound has been steadily created over several years of working together, playing in a REAL rock and roll band. This tight little group is constantly cranking out hot new material, so every show will be intriguing and exciting. Guaran-f*cking-teed to satisfy! View The Greens's EPK

   About The Greens
THE GREENS are one of the best bands you've never heard of. Hopefully, that will soon change! West Virginia, which is unfortunately NOT often recognized as a musical "hot-spot" (if it's recognized at all!), has been a good home to this unique and soulful group for over 5 years now.
Positive things are finally happening. Even in a small college town like Morgantown (Go WVU!) lots of people are taking notice.

Yes, the word is out: The Greens ROCK!!! This experienced professional band plays well over 100 shows every year all through Appalachia and beyond. At ALL KINDS of venues The Greens are steadily growing a solid reputation of GOOD MUSIC and GOOD TIMES. Now The Greens need YOU, and YOU need The Greens!

Though the "power trio" is blues/rock-based, a wide spectrum of other influences are present, a well-balanced mix of funk, soul, jazz, alt/country, old-time, world-beat, anything, as long as it's REAL! The Greens (not just the "Blues") always strive for timeless music that audiences will enjoy.
We write ORIGINAL songs that people can feel and relate to. So, a crop of devoted fans is sure to pop up wherever The Greens take the stage. This band is GUARANTEED to consistently deliver ELECTRIFYING, SATISFYING performances.

When The Greens turn on the ENERGY, people just can't help getting up and dancing and drinking and having an overall fabulous time. For these "career opportunities" we are very grateful and can only hope to continue to please crowds in the future.
We look forward to hearing from you soon! Thank you kindly...
