Musical Style & Performance History Click
to hear Greg's classical guitar work
on a Doug Hamilton tune called Siempre
World Music that crosses international boundaries, an Ambient Folk Jazz,
that is my musical style. I draw on the influences of Reggae,
Rock, Pop, Folk, Bosa Nova,
Samba, Swing and Jazz Standards. I am a musical chameleon, adaptable
to the environment I am performing. I have had the joy of performing
at the Gorge Amphitheater, The Moore Theater, Bumber Shoot, The Bite
of Seattle, The Taste of Edmonds, Folklife, The Garlic Festival, The
Columbia Winery, The Spirit of Washington Dinner Train, on King TV,
PBS and many other venues. I've made concert appearances in Europe,
Asia, and the Caribbean. I was, very fortunately, the preferred opening
act at Parker's for many years and opened shows for scores of national
acts. My best memory at Parker's is when I opened 10 shows for BB King
there. He was the most gracious of all the entertainers I met. My band
was voted best show twice at The Taste of Edmonds, largely due to fine
musicians and friends with which I surround myself. I was blessed to
perform with some very talented players. I naturally reflect the energy
of the environment I find myself and set a mood that is personal, romantic
and fun. I love to perform.
Solo Artist
I often perform solo, singing and playing guitar or piano. I have a
vast array of original tunes and a long list of tunes by such artists
as James Taylor, Kenny Loggins, Michael Franks, The Beatles and Sting.
I really appreciate being complimented for my arrangements and I am
humbled when people tell me that they like my version better than the
original version. I try to personalize every tune I play and make it
"mur-rah" music. It is my aim to create an ambiance that is
warm, fun and supportive of any event in which I take part. I can perform
as an instrumentalist on guitar or piano. My guitar style is classical
with some flamenco influence. I've performed in this mode for concerts,
weddings, wine tastings and many special events. My instrumental CD's
Sarah's Dreams, and Morning Mist are used by massage therapists and
school teachers for their relaxing, soothing moods. Blossom and Celebrate
Tomorrow are CD examples of live guitar and vocal solo performances.

Murat -The Band Click
here to hear Trouble off Ruff Stuff *
In a band setting I lean toward more high energy Latin Jazz Pop
Rock; Island Music. I perform in a setting of musicians from duo to
eight piece band and anywhere in between. Clips from my Bumber Shoot
concert were shown on MTV to help promote the event. I have a list of
talented friends that have taken part in concerts that include Scott
MacGougan, Dale Manolito Fuentes, Jim Coil, Garey Shelton, Gordon Uchima,
Christopher Nichols, Ronnie Llinas, John Matthews, Deirdre Lord, Scottie
Drexler, Larry Mason, Dave Raynor, Jimmy Culler, Jon Goforth, Doug Hamilton,
Jamie Phalen, Chris Layton and Mike Daily. There is a tropical feel
to the music I perform that makes it perfect for festivals of any kind.
The staff at Columbia Winery told me I was their favorite performer
for their Vintage Wine Sale. That is good for me because I love their
wines. Gone to Yesterday and Room With A View are full band CD's. The
current band preparing for concerts is Papa
Murat
