Greg Herriges
World

Greg Herriges plays an eclectic mix of original and traditional "whirled" music on guitar, bouzouki (Greek lute), and vocal, with a unique approach honed by his studies of Asian and other international styles. A virtuoso performer and award-winning composer, his music and writing have found international recognition. He also writes books on world music for guitar and composes/directs music for theater & film, but performing is his lifeblood.

“...a gifted musician who is able to bring the best sounds from several cultures into one type of intriguing music.” ~Folkworld (Germany)

"Guitar renegade... Herriges always comes off as native maestro, never slumming dilettante. His technique on both guitar and bouzouki is formidable, his feel for diverse cultures exemplary." ~Minneapolis Star Tribune

"An acoustic guitar virtuoso [and] musical syncretist." ~The Voice (Canada)
