I'm Gregory B. Albright. I am a singer-songwriter from Hamilton, Ohio, just north of Cincinnati. The bedrock for my music is my family heritage. My people have had a presence in this area since the mid-1790's, so one can see that my roots go deep. My grandchildren, for example, are the sixth generation of our family to be baptized in our home church.
In years past, two diverse groups of people made their homes in Southwest Ohio; German immigrants, moving from the east, who were reminded of the Rhine River by the beauty of the Ohio Valley and hardy Appalachians, moving up through Kentucky, lured by the promise of a better life in the heavily industrialized North. These two groups share a love of storytelling, and that love that was passed on to me. It is here in our history-rich land that I find the stories and tales of people in the daily struggles of life, with all its joys and pains, celebrations and regrets. The sound is pure American. A folk music flavored with bluegrass, blues, rock, and country ingredients, then seasoned with the clear Celtic sounds of my family heritage.
I have played music regionally for over 40 years. I perform all original music with live vocals and acoustic guitar over backing tracks that I create in the recording studio. I carry my own PA system and thus have a completely self-contained package available for clients. I am a BMI-affiliated songwriter and own New Little Tree Music Publishing, also BMI-affiliated.
I am currently performing in support of my sixth album/first CD entitled “STORYTELLER.” Promotional CD's, publicity photos and color posters are available upon request.
