GREGG HILL

NEW ORLEANS BASED SINGER-SONGWRITER, GREGG HILL IS SCRIPTING THE SONG OF HIS LIFE WITH A VOICE OFTEN FROM ANOTHER AGE. HIS FOURTH STUDIO ALBUM, BORN LIAR WAS PRODUCED AT THE DOGHOUSE STUDIO IN NASHVILLE BY 5X GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING PRODUCER/ENGINEER NEAL CAPPELLINO (ALISON KRAUSS, VINCE GILL, JOAN OSBORNE). ALONG WITH A STELLAR BACKING BAND, IT FEATURES RENOWNED ARTISTS KENNY VAUGHAN, RON BLOCK (UNION STATION), JEFF COFFIN (DAVE MATHEWS), SHANE THERIOT, AND ANDERS OSBORNE. THE RECORD WENT TO #95 ON THE AMA CHART, HIT #14 ON THE ALT-COUNTRY CHART, AND REMAINED AT #4 ON THE RELIX JAMBANDS CHART FOR TWO MONTHS. HILL HAILS FROM CHICAGO, NEW JERSEY, DALLAS, D.C., NY AND CURRENTLY NEW ORLEANS. HE IS NOT EASILY DEFINED. HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TO OCCUPY WALL STREET, DID A TOUR OF DUTY IN THE CORPORATE WORLD, CREATED A SUCCESSFUL TECH START-UP, HIS SCULPTURES ARE SHOWN IN RESPECTED GALLERIES AROUND THE COUNTRY, AND HE TRAVELED AND STUDIED WITH ZEN MASTER THICH NHAT HANH. BUT MOSTLY HE HAS BEEN WRITING AND PLAYING SONGS THE WAY HIS DAD TAUGHT HIM TO WHEN HE WAS JUST A LITTLE KID…. SONGS LIKE “SKY OF GOLD” AND “CLINGING TO THE WIND”, AND “BORN LIAR” OFFER UP PLAIN SPOKEN STORYTELLING WITH MELODIES THAT BLOOM ON A ZEN SLAP OF RECOGNITION AND REVELATION. THE ORIGINS OF GREGG HILL’S MUSIC ARE COUNTRY, ROCK AND ROLL, ROOTS, AND FOLK. THESE ARE THE SONGS WRITTEN AFTER THE DAY’S WORK HAS BEEN DONE. VISIONARY, RESPONSIBLE, AND MATURE. HILL’S NEW RECORD TITLED BAYOU ST. JOHN, FEATURING ROLAND GUERIN, JOY CLARK, AND DOUG BELOTE, IS A DEPARTURE FROM EARLIER RECORDS AS IT IS A SINGER/SONGWRITER, ACOUSTIC BASED RECORD. IT WILL BE RELEASED IN SUMMER 2023.
