During the 80's Greg was in various blues bands like 'Richard 'White Boy' Jennings and the Dynatones', 'Spunk', and the 'Blues Torpedoes'. From 77 to 79 he was a member of 'Telegraph', a five-state regional touring band based in Indy. From there it was on to Ball State University and performing in college bars and bigger shows in Indianapolis. He continued to 'smoke' other guitar players and by age 17 was playing 5 nights a week in the local Muncie bar scene with a band called 'Ultimatum'. His 1st rock band was made up of fellow 6th grade friends and their 1st public show was an elementary school festival where they proudly 'smoked the 7th grade band'. As he progressed rapidly on guitar, reading sheet music became a small speck in the rear-view mirror. The deception worked and he received his 1st guitar that Christmas. He promised his parents that if they bought him a guitar and stopped piano lessons, he would still learn to read music. Hailing from Muncie, Indiana, Greg began taking piano lessons at age 6 and quickly became frustrated by the old-fashioned structured lessons as well as the slow progress of learning to read sheet music, so he came up with a plan. Since starting 'The Distance' in 2014 he has also performed in the 'Double Eagles Tribute Band ', 'Three Aces' and with 'Tommy Tutone' ( Jenny Jenny - 867-5309). Note while in the 'The Dinosaurs', Steve played with artists like ' Dave Mason', 'The Vogues', 'The Crystals' and 'Leon Russell'. Steve is a veteran of several very popular regional bands ,'The Dinosaurs', 'Airborn' ,' Cornerstone', 'Fallen Angels' and ' Time Machine'.
