Greg Parke

About

Definitely not your typical singer/songwriter! Greg Parke might be tugging at your heart strings with a soulfull acoustic ballad one minute, and then before know it, you will be wondering where the rest of the band came from as your feet are heading for the dance floor!

Greg Parke gives the term "one man band" a whole new meaning. Using custom built acoustic and electric MIDI guitars, sound modules and loopers, he is able to create an amazingly full sound that seems more like a whole stage full of musicians rather than just one person, all done in real time, with no pre-recorded backing tracks. Greg has also been known to throw in some keyboards, mandolin and banjo from time to time just to spice things up a bit. Combine that with his rich, captivating voice, a very spontaneous and entertaining sense of humor, and you are guaranteed a show that you won’t soon forget!

Since making his professional music debut at the age of nine, Greg’s career has seen him performing in countless venues, ranging from small house concerts, coffee houses and wine tastings, to dance clubs, fairs, conventions and performance centers, to large arenas and outdoor concerts. Equally at home in an intimate listening “acoustic guitar/vocal” situation, to providing a solid beat for the dance floor, to entertaining a large crowd at an outdoor festival, you can rest assured that Greg Parke will definitely help make your event a success.

Besides his well crafted original music (all the songs on the audio player at the top of this page are originals) Greg also performs a broad range of familiar music covering hits from the 50’s to current, including classic rock and roll, folk, pop, and crossover country. For venues that require only original music, Greg is able to provide several hours of all original music covering a wide range of styles.

Greg Parke is a fully self-contained one man show, able to provide quality entertainment as well as top notch sound equipment and if needed, stage lighting. A quick look at the calendar page and past dates page on his website will show a long list of repeat bookings from many satisfied clients. So, whether you are looking for a relaxing, laid back “listening” type of show, or you want to get people moving and on the dance floor, give Greg Parke a try. So many repeat bookings can’t be wrong!

Don’t miss Greg’s new single, Faded Old Flag, his rousing “Thank You” to all our members serving in the armed forces.
