Greg Hoy

Greg Hoy - East Bay, CA-based songwriter Greg Hoy - who's recorded with Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies), Sylvia Massy (Johnny Cash, Tom Petty), and John Vanderslice (Spoon, Nada Surf) - has toured over 120 dates across the US since the fall of 2021. Comparisons to Jack White, Tom Petty, and Brittany Howard aside, the veteran songwriter has been a long time critical favorite. Hip-hop icon Ice-T appeared in his recent music video for 'Can You Take It?' which was nominated for a California Music Video Award. Picked to take part in the 2021 Durango Songwriters Showcase for Film & TV, his songs have been heard on networks such as the CW, HBO, and MTV, as well as in commercials for Pinterest, Adobe, and American Express. 

Solo with his trusted suitcase drum, or as a trio, Greg live always plays to the room. He's performed in ‘almost every one of the continental United States’, he says with a laugh. ‘And I’d do Alaska and Hawaii, too, if the guarantee was good!' 

The Big Takeover says 'Drop the needle anywhere on his LPs and you're greeted with Hoy's crunchy, meaty, dirt discharging guitars & swaggering Mick Jagger/David Johansen-like growl. Hoy's boys kick out plenty of 70's punk & rnb-inspired jams.' Red Red Wine on a Sunday says 'Hoy's records are deep - like peeling layers off an onion - each song is a revelation!' And Melody Maker says 'Hoy is at home with surprising listeners: be grateful for it.'
