Greg Smith... on the (Internet) Radio!

So much to share! The weather and the hustle are heating up. Can't even catch my breath. First off, great meeting everyone on Saturday night at the Iron Monkey in Jersey City. I had a blast performing and thanks to Annelise Collette for inviting me to play! Hope to be back there again soon. =) Also, I ordered a high-quality DVD of last Friday night's show at Arlene's Grocery. Should have it by the end of the week and I'll be posting it on the Web ASAP.

In other news, I'm bookin' like I'm down at the precinct! 2 shows down in April already, a 3rd on the calendar for sure (see details below), and possibly a 4th & 5th in the works. Top that off with an Internet radio interview tomorrow...

WHOA!

Yes, tomorrow (Wednesday), April 7th, Greg will be a guest on the popular Internet radio show, "Rew n Who?" Tune in at 4:45PM sharp (New York City time) at www.arizzmaradio.com to watch the live stream of the interview!

Also, please call in to the station during the show to say, "What's up!" The # is (212) 283-3437. This will rock!

One More Hill, Climbed.

Dear Beautiful GSL Blog Readers,


Things are looking up in Greg Smith Land! Mad gigs on the calendar, dope crowds at the shows, and ill musicians in the band. Dig it...



Been doing a lot of good work these past two weeks. I entered my song, "Give Me a Reason," into the R&B category of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, I submitted my CD to for a chance to audition for Music Under New York, and I submitted one of my videos in hopes of being cast for the next season of America's Got Talent. Wish me luck! :)

I hope those of you in New York City and its surrounding areas are gearing up to truly throw down THIS FRIDAY, April 2nd! For those of you who are reading this anew: Till this point, there hath been only Greg Smith. Now, there is Group. The Greg Smith Group. For the first time in the history of the world...


The Greg Smith Group... LIVE! at Arlene's Grocery in New York City.


FEATURING:
