Born in the shadows of the now famous fallen statues of Richmond, VA, Greg Greenway moved to Boston for its rich Folk Music tradition. He has since become one of its most unique and superlative emissaries. Musically raised on the magically percussive right hand of Richie Havens, and the flowing lyricism of Eric Andersen, these seminal influences became the DNA of his own unique and continuing growth. He has blended them into a multi-instrumental, genre crossing style. Greg has played Carnegie Hall, been heard on NPR's All Things Considered, Mountain Stage, and Car Talk. He is a founding member of Brother Sun with Joe Jencks and Pat Wictor, and with Reggie Harris he presents Deeper Than The Skin, a musical program examining race relations. “Greg Greenway is one of those artists who is so rich a talent that it is difficult to categorize him. He traverses, combines and mixes up musical genres, and manages to open a window on global events that bring us together as citizens of the world. Like other great performers before him, Greenway’s message is that we can all play a part and make a difference in the course of both our private and public lives. But few musicians can do just this with such style, passion and sheer musicality.” — Folk &amp; Acoustic Music Exchange More info and tickets at: <a href="https://focusmusic.org/sat-5-2-greg-greeenway-gaithersburg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">focusmusic.org/sat-5-2-greg-greeenway-gaithersburg</a>
