About

Although I'm currently playing with Abandoned Road I'd like to be playing and rehearsing more than they currently do so I'm available if I can find another group. I would prefer to play keys but I'm an expert level guitarist.

Hi, I'm Greg Mein. I've been in a number of bands over the years. Although there was a great deal of variety in the players and set lists, all were gigging groups with a focus on entertaining at bars, weddings and corporate parties. I've also fronted a couple of my own groups that did what I call radio friendly pop/rock cover songs at gigs in the Cedar Rapids area.

I prefer to work with experienced players/vocalists where there is a common knowledge of popular classic rock/pop material and the ability to add additional music to a set list with minimum group rehearsal time. I myself have access to a vast array of learning resources and the experience and knowledge to learn new material reasonably quickly.

Additionally I've done a great deal of home recording using modern computers, midi, software instruments and DAWs such as Digital Performer, Logic Pro, Reason, Sonar and others.

I'm available for hire as a studio musician.
I can be hired to write, record and produce professional advertising jingles for radio and/or TV.
