About Greg Horne:

Multi-instrumentalist (guitar, fiddle & violin), singer, and songwriter Greg Horne will make his Studio 865 debut on Wednesday, April 2 (UTTV, 8pm).

Here's more about Greg (from his website):

What should Americana music be - a new frontier or a time machine? When you hear Greg Horne, you know the answer is both. It's the American paradox: the most enduring artists have been those that dig deep into tradition to find their way to a unique, unmistakeable voice.

Greg's songs are about people who have found themselves separated from the group. A discarded rag doll considers life in the laundry pile, a 17th century castrato explains his condition to his date, ex-president Jimmy Carter encounters a Brownie Scout while on a walk in the park.

The voices of these characters duet with Greg's expressive and experienced guitar playing, old-time fiddle, and mandolin.

Greg has played on recent tours and albums by songwriters Jodie Manross, Beth Wood, and Deirdre Flint, and also served as an indie-rock gunslinger with the venerable Tim Lee Band. He has been seen crunching telecasters at Bonnaroo and making sawdust out of fiddles at contradances.

But most of the time he's out there solo, giving the characters in his songs one more shot at a new life. Whatever the venue, Greg plays for the song and lives for the moment the next one begins.
