Greg's earliest influences came from the "acoustic-oriented" music of the late 60's and early 70's, a sound that blended folk, rock, country, and pop, specifically, the music of Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce, Jimmy Buffett, and America. While majoring in music theory at The College of Charleston, Greg became a student of the music of Dan Fogelberg, an influence which encouraged him to broaden his abilities as a multi-instrumentalist.
Having performed more than 3,000 shows during his career, Greg has established himself as a seasoned musician and entertainer. As a songwriter, he has built a strong foundation through his exploration of the music and stylings of some of the greatest artists of our time. His music is uniquely his own, always in-progress, always evolving. Greg Smith is truly an artist's artist.
