Greg Gilbertson is a singer-songwriter and an accomplished guitarist hailing from the rolling hills of Northwest Wisconsin, which is considered the Farm Region of Folk Alliance International. 

Whether performing solo or accompanied by his full band, Greg's live performances include up-tempo, blues and rootsy songs, full of lyrical imagery, as well as smooth and complex original guitar instrumentals with layered evocative melodies. 

Greg has shared the stage and collaborated in studio with fellow artists Phil Cook, Joe Pug, Dead Horses, Bill Mallonee, Pete Huttlinger, Chris Kroeze, Them Coulee Boys, David Mayfield, and Doyle Dykes, among others.

In 2018, Greg Gilbertson self-released the critically acclaimed album, Surviving the Echoes. Previously, he released an instrumental record, entitled, Limited Vocabulary, in 2008. He is currently hard at work on his next project.

Greg holds an award from the prestigious International Fingerstyle Guitar Championship at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas.

Greg’s states- “There is an agony that can come from trying to hope in our modern society, and I am drawn to the desire, as an artist, to press the listener to think and feel simultaneously. 

We need to look beyond politics, and being both a lyricist and an instrumentalist allows me to approach this task on multiple fronts, as it can speak poetically to the mind, and, more abstractly, to the body and heart. Beauty is a vehicle for truth.”

As a First Timer- Greg Gilbertson‘s goal and hope for performing at a Private Showcase at the 2019 Folk Alliance Conference is to have the opportunity for his poignant song’s to be heard by a wider audience, meet fellow artists and music industry folks of like minds, and have the chance to collaborate creatively.

Please take a moment to listen to the music and check it out!

It would be an honor and privilege to speak with anyone who is interested in hosting Greg Gilbertson as part of their private showcase.
