About Greg MacPherson
Greg MacPherson is the new champion of a songwriting tradition stretching back to Woody Guthrie and including voices like Joe Strummer, Billy Bragg, David Byrne and Bruce Springsteen. Loud, passionate voices saying something about their place in the cruel and beautiful world. Greg MacPherson writes songs that walk an inscrutable line between beauty and determination. A place where the ordinary becomes important and actions bring hope. Songs that capture the imaginations of young and old alike.
Greg MacPherson was born 30 years ago in the Sydney City Hospital, half a kilometer from the most polluted body of water in North America, and half an hour walk from his family home at CFS Sydney. He grew up on radar bases all over Canada; a base-brat in the shadow of the cold war, and a student of regional diversity and disparity. He was raised in front of a television, rode a unicycle to high school, paid his rent at times by winning disco contests, dug graves in a cemetery for 6 years, and got a degree in Labour History in the mid-nineties.
Along the way MacPherson learned how to work hard and he hasn´t looked back. He has released 2 albums and an EP in Canada and the US and has been relentlessly touring with rock bands such as The Weakerthans and Propagandhi, as well as on major folk festivals playing for thousands of people. Greg has been crisscrossing continents to spend his hours mining the depths of the people and places he he encounters.
In April 2006 Greg MacPherson finally released his first album on European ground. Sun Beats Down is the title and the album consists of 11 of MacPhersons best songs to date.
