just in
As we start the new year we find Greg playing some new music with his son Jevan and his old time buddy Sam Torrence (front man for Bijoux de Bayeux). They are playing a multitude of stringed instruments, flutes and percussion and vocals as they wind their way through a journey filled with influences from all over the world...EVEN places as exotic as Gordon Head or Duncan.........Their repetoire is mainly original with a few choice covers thrown in. Come out to the wonderful "Dancing Bean Cafe" in Chemainus on Sat Jan.26th/08 to catch their inaugural performance. This is a great place to hang out...the food is superb, Larry and Mona are awesome hosts( who have done so much to keep live music a reality on our island!!...Thanks!) and it is one of Greg's favorite places to play!...It's not unlike an intimate house concert type setting...great for the band...great for the audience.... So check it out and we hope to see you there!...www.dancingbean.ca
