Sounds of Greg D

The Sounds Of Greg D is based primarily around the singing and songwriting of Greg Di Gesu who has been playing in various bands since the mid-80's. First band The Wooden Soldiers quickly became local New Brunswick, NJ faves. During the span of The Wooden Soldiers, Greg began learning the art of studio recording and has since received 2 platinum records; one for Lenny Kravitz’s Are You Gonna Go My Way and another for John Mayer’s Room For Squares. Greg has also worked with Jimmy Scott, Guided By Voices, and Elliott Smith.

Next band was Fishermen’s Stew, a rotating band of musicians from the years 1991-1999. The Stew was followed by his next endeavor Speedsters and Dopers founded in NYC in June of 2000. The music would not be of the hippie variety nor would it be heavy metal, as some may assume from its namesake. Instead there was a sound encompassing early Bowie and the songwriting stylings of Lennon & Lou Reed with the lyrical focus of Dylan.

Greg's newest project includes Ryan Thornton on drums (Rana / Sam Champion), Dave Dreiwitz on bass (Ween), Jack Petruzzelli playing guitar (The Fab Faux / Rufus Wainwright), and Arne Wendt (Como Drive / The VooDudes) on Hammond B3, Wurlitzer, Nord. Greg sings and plays guitar, harmonica, Rhodes piano and writes the songs.

If you like Syd Barrett, Ray Davies and the formentioned Lou Reed then chances are you'll dig the current Sounds of Greg D. Here's a couple tunes from the forthcoming album, My Little Monkey Got Caught.
