About Greg Knapp
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember seeing the Allman Brothers on TV when I was learning to play the guitar. I was blown away and said to myself "so that's what you do with this thing", and wrote a song. I knew then what the guitar was for.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Miles Davis, Kind of Blue Pat Metheny Group, Pat Metheny Group The Allman Brothers Band, At Fillmore East (Live) Live Pat's music hit me when I was getting good enough to emulate it and it was similar to the music I was composing. The Allman Brothers gave me a melodic concept for guitar improvisation. Miles taught me how to be an adult with eclectic taste in music.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. A Path I Know combines many of the aspects of my music at this time: I love the guitar tone, the samba beat but a bit of a blues feel to it as well. A good example of my current music that includes a wide range of styles and influences.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Hearing my recent compositions played with a group of great musicians.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I have a lot of music I still want to compose and play. I have all these musical influences in my head and the way I compose is quite spontaneous, when I am just playing and not thinking. Then those influences just pop out in my own style.
