Greg Greenway in Concert at Acoustic Cafe

Greg Greenway is a multi-faceted, socially conscious artist - a rare combination of instrumental expertise, a soulful and moving singer, powerful poet, and sparkling entertainer. He makes his debut at the Acoustic Café on Sunday, March 18^th for a 2 PM matinee. Special guest, local singer/songwriter ‘Backroad’ Joe McKay will open the show.

Proceeds benefit the OLM scholarship fund for St Vincent's parish in Vallieres, Haiti. 

Originally from Richmond, VA, Greg moved to Boston for its rich Folk Music tradition and has become one of its most unique and superlative emissaries. Put simply, he is one of the finest entertainers you'll ever see. Musically, he draws inspiration from all over the map--gospel, rock, blues, Jazz, and world music. But his center is in the singer/songwriter tradition that traces its’ roots all the way back to the social awareness of Woody Guthrie. His central appeal is that it all comes through the singular lens of Greenway's humanity and his easy affinity for the audience.

He has been described as "one of the strongest, and finest voices in folk music.” Another reviewer perhaps described it best, "A profoundly rich poet and musician. Folk Music is too narrow a description.”  His visit to the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis yielded his own  composition that rises powerfully into U2's Pride/In the Name of Love. It is a hair raising, riveting anthem that embodies Greenway's passion and his gift for framing social issues. It is a show stopping event, couched in a presentation of high spirited give and take of such good humor that audiences unfailingly walk away uplifted.

Greg is also part of acclaimed harmony trio Brother Sun, with Pat Wictor and Joe Jencks.

"Confessional one moment, rambunctiously disarming the next, few modern folk singers can own a coffeehouse stage as completely as Greenway." - Boston Globe –
