Greg Sover live at 118 North 8/26
Singer, Songwriter and guitar slinger, Greg Sover, will headline 118 North in Wayne, PA on Saturday, August 26th where he will perform selections from his new LP, HIS-STORY (Grounded Soul Records) alongside choice cuts from his discography. Gooch and the Motion will support.
Recently, Guitar World Magazine featured Sover and his new video for “Remember,” where he is joined by iconic Band of Gypsys bassist, Billy Cox, on the Hendrix rarity. They raved, “Cox certainly does not make a habit of jumping on any old Hendrix cover, all of which makes Sover’s assured, dynamic performance – and their musical understanding – all the more impressive.”
HIS-STORY features eight blues, roots, and rock-tinged originals and the album was recorded in Sover’s hometown of Philadelphia, co-produced by Sover and Jim Salamone, and includes bass player Kenny Aaronson (Bob Dylan, Rick Derringer, Billy Idol, Joan Jett, Hall & Oates) and drummer/podcast host David Uosikkinen (The Hooters). “It’s all about crossing these boundaries and bringing everyone together, whatever your race, religion or nationality,” Sover says of HIS-STORY.
