GREG BARRETT comes from Tennessee, USA, where much music history has been made. He has worked with many great artists and bands, some famous, some not, and also extensively as a solo performer and with his own bands.

Barrett worked for years in the Nashville music industry with soul, blues and country artists including Emmylou Harris, Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers Band, Carl Perkins, Dobie Gray, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Tracy Nelson, Bobby Bare and many others. He worked in one of cable TV's first music programs, the Nashville Network's "Bobby Bare and Friends", on other TV productions and in the film "The Other Side of Nashville." In 1987 he moved to Europe where he worked solo and with artists including The Spencer Davis Group, Chuck Berry and Albie Donnelly's Supercharge. In 1997 his first solo CD, MEMPHIS HEAT, was released on the prestigious INAK/In-akustik label. Featuring American soul/blues legend Tracy Nelson on vocals and the Supercharge horn section, the recording received a warm reception from critics. Barrett remained in Europe for twelve years, becoming fluent in German, starting a family and touring Germany, Switzerland, the UK and other European countries extensively.

In 1999 he returned to his native country and settled near Atlanta, Georgia, where he has worked steadily as a solo artist in restaurants and piano bars. In 2003 as a member of the Ken Rhyne Band he was a finalist in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee. His solo program has become heavily oriented toward New Orleans funky piano music, boogie-woogie, jazz and soulful vocals, but he enjoys a wide range of international musical styles. Barrett does not use drum machines or recorded tracks:he takes pride in performing 100% LIVE as a solo entertainer. He loves to travel and feels perfectly at home in a pleasant hotel room.
