Gregg

I met Gregg in 2003, through a questionable-in-retrospect website. We became friends pretty quickly, and attended some of my favorite shows together…RJD2, Thievery Corporation, Kings of Convenience, Neko Case, the Hold Steady, and Jolie Holland.

The KofC show in particular was spectacular…nobody in the crowd breathed or really even moved for the duration of the set. I’d never been to a show that held everyone so captive that there was pure silence for more than an hour.

But then again, the Jolie Holland show was memorable in its own way, too, as she chewed out the crowd for not listening closely enough.

I haven’t found anyone quite so compatible with my tastes in music since moving away.
