Hey people!

We made it to Spring… lord hallelujah, WE MADE IT TO SPRING!! 🙂
And much like mother nature, the CG camp is quite aflutter these days, w/ many exciting things happening!

Firstly, words can’t even express how excited i am to share that my new record, “The Grand Loss & Legacy”, is finally finished and copies are being shipped to my home as i type this! It’s my first full length album, and it will be officially released on May 15th! This album, as you may know, was a LONG time coming, and I really put my heart and soul into it. I’m so excited for you all to hear it!!

We’ve already been getting some good reactions to the album from the tastemakers that be, and the first single, “That Girl Is Wrong For You” (release date 4/14/15), was just selected as the Grand Prize winner of the Relix magazine JamOFF for June 2015!  Yes, very exciting stuff!!!

This weekend the CG Band heads down the shore to NJ to play the Cape May Singer-Songwriter Fest.
We will be performing Fri & Sat night @ Cabanas On the Beach
For more info on this show and other upcoming Spring dates (including Apr 16th opening for John Fogerty keyboard player, Bob Malone), see below!

Oh and finally, i wanted to share this video of a song i wrote w/ the incredible french singer, Anne Sila, a couple years back. She’s been competing on the Voice in France the last couple weeks and since then the video has gotten almost 20K views…..so amazing!!

Ok, thank you all…..I am so excited to have you all sharing in these next exciting weeks and months with me!

See you out there!!

Hi everyone…long overdue for an update on here.  I’ve been slacking and i apologize..  but much to fill you in on now!

First wanted to let you know about a special show coming up this weekend.  I was invited to open for singer/songwriter Adam Levy (of the Honeydogs) @ Drom on Sunday Nov 9th.   It’s a beautiful space if you’ve never been, w/ a nice baby grand piano.  I’ll be performing as a duo w/ Chris Kelly on bass.

Happy to report that last week i finished up w/ tracking and mixing on the new record.   Had done 7 songs over the summer and went back and did 3 more last month, so now i am proud to say i will be putting out my FIRST full length album!! 🙂   If you’ve been following along on facebook, you’ve seen some of the album teasers i’ve been posting…(if you haven’t been following well why not?! – www.facebook.com/craiggreenbergmusic  ;),  Soon i will have it mastered and start working on the art work, and planning a big release show in early ’15…exciting stuff!!!

In addition to fun shows for CMJ and CBGB Fest, in October I had the great pleasure of accompanying friend Louise Goffin (along w/ guitarist Jason Loughlin) at her show @ City Winery.  I played piano and organ (and some egg shakers).  The place is just amazing.  Terrific sound and everyone on the staff was so nice!  We open for Gary Wright, writer of the songs “Dreamweaver” “Love is Alive”…..!    Here’s a CLIP (i’m off camera).   Ciao for now!!

SO EXCITED to be having my birthday show this year at Joe’s Pub.
This venue has been on the top of my list of NYC spots to perform at since i moved back here 10 years ago.
I will be joined by the CGBand–Chris Kelly, Scott Tofte, Patrick Brennan, plus special guest Scott Stein will be sitting in on keys
Opening the show will be good friend John Brodeur.  They’ll be birthday sweets and an afterparty to follow!

Well it’s hot in NYC…REAL hot!   There’s no denying that summer is officially here, and i’m ready to sizzle down with the rest of you!

Had a terrific time in Wisconsin at Steel Bridge SongFest a couple weeks ago.  This was my 9th year performing at the festival and attending the Construction Zone songwriter event at the Holiday Motel.. it’s always cool to see how the event evolves each year – this year the new studio/performance space – The Tambourine Lounge (a.k.a. the “Collaboratory”), and the Steel Bridge Radio, were AMAZING additions.  I got to co-write songs w/ some incredible talent!   Especially proud of the song i wrote w/ Graciana Holland, and Jimm McKever, and also one w/ the fabulous Louise Goffin…  Speaking of Louise, she was recently interviewed in American Songwriter magazine to talk about her new album coming out this month, and she mentioned me and a song called “Deep Dark Night of the Soul” we co-wrote together (w/ Corinne Lee) last year at Steel Bridge as being her favorite on the record.   Was quite an honor and a thrill!  Can check out the full article -> HERE

IN OTHER NEWS, I am excited to announce that i’ll be spending much of the summer months in the studio working on a new record!  I started up last week @ Galuminum Foil Studios in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (where i’m now residing incidentally), and things are coming along really nicely!  I’ve been posting updates (pics/vids) on Facebook & Twitter so go and follow if you wanna keep up with all the updates as they come..   If all goes to plan, i’ll have a new album to release before the year is up!

Hunkering down on the record I won’t be doing any proper tours this summer, though i will be getting out of town for a couple of regional festival dates.

*****AND, don’t forget the end of the summer BIRTHDAY SHOW @ JOE’S PUB!!!
