Greg Koch
A fiendishly talented guitar player, and funny as hell, the resume of Milwaukee-based axe slinger, Greg Koch is staggering. Bandleader, magazine contributor, widely heard studio musician, author of instructional books and DVDs (including two for Hal Leonard covering the style of Stevie Ray Vaughan), a winner of many regional best-guitarist awards, and a world-touring clinician for Fender, Kochs first internationally acclaimed CD on Steve Vais Favored Nations label, The Grip, was an aromatic smorgasbord of pungent guitar morsels judiciously culled from his five independent releases.
Now Greg has committed his winning brand of magnificent musical mayhem to a new CD, Radio Free Gristle. Imaginatively packaged as a radio show, with Kochs speaking voices providing hilarious segues, the deranged cast of characters featured on the disc include a spinsterly nun from Gregs parochial school days, and a performer who suffers from a rare strain of Tourettes - in conversation he blurts random phrases made famous by Robert Plant in Led Zeppelin songs.
