heya folks,

Hope the summer has been good to you all. I have been in the studio up here in the mountains most of the time, working on our new record. Being up here has been beautiful to say the least, and I’ll keep you posted on the release date. I just wanted to drop a line and say thanks for all your support, and I hope to see you at one of these shows coming up. I am beyond honored to finally headline Chautauqua Auditorium on September 21st in our hometown of Boulder, Colorado. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, Friday, July 21st.  My friend Jeffrey Foucault will be playing too. It will be a good day.

best to you all, and again, my deepest thanks,

gregory

I recently got the opportunity to support some non-profit organizations that are rad. My song, “big black car” was placed in a McDonalds commercial in Canada, and we are donating all proceeds to these organizations. Check ‘em out, and if you can, get involved!
They all are doing great things to further sustainable farming practices and nurturing community all over the world.
Happy holidays folks!
