Greg Greenway’s guitar, piano, ukulele, and melodica are inspired by gospel, rock, blues, Jazz, and world music. He is a singer/songwriter with roots in the social awareness of Woody Guthrie. Born in Richmond, VA, he moved to Boston for its rich folk music tradition.
He has played at such notable places as Carnegie Hall, he’s been heard on NPR’s All Things Considered and Mountain Stage. He considers the height of his achievements as having “Driving in Massachusetts” a humorous song, played on Car Talk.
His eight year collaboration with Pat Wictor and Joe Jencks as Brother Sun, reached thousands at festivals and concert halls across the US and Canada. His newest project with Reggie Harris, is a musical presentation on Race in America called Deeper Than The Skin. Born three days apart, DNA passing through the same portal of Richmond, VA. One African-American, one White, together they convey a quintessential American story.
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 hasblended them into a multi-instrumental, genre crossing style – the never-ending process of a musical omnivore.

His eight year collaboration with Pat Wictor and Joe Jencks as Brother Sun, reached thousands of fans with their intricate three part harmonies being heard in festivals and concert halls across the US and Canada. They produced two #1 CDs for the years of 2013 and 2016 on the Folk DJ list. His newest project with his beloved friend of 35 years, Reggie Harris, is a musical presentation on Race in America called Deeper Than The Skin. It is the bringing together of both of their stories, born three days apart, DNA passing through the same portal of Richmond, VA. One African-American, one White, together they convey a quintessential American story.
