Greg Laswell

I attended a Greg Laswell concert a few weeks ago, and was lucky enough to also get a chance to meet him after the show. Greg is an awesome musician who also hails from the SoCal region, and the guy is hilarious in concert (seriously, he could've been a comedian). My first opportunity to hear him play live was actually several years ago at the San Diego County Fair ( better known to locals asThe Del Mar Fair). Like most people who live in SoCal, his style is very chill. His themes vary from heartbreak and sadness (his first album came out while he was getting a divorce) to persevering through hardship, finding love, and ultimately just living life and enjoying yourself. He has since gotten remarried, and his latest albums reflect a much happier Greg.

Greg has been through a lot of ups and downs in his relatively short musical career, but nevertheless he has always maintained his super-chill style and his down-to-earth geniality. His journey has been cataloged by each of his successive albums, and this has allowed all of his followers to kind of "grow with him" through the process. Whether you're happily involved with someone, or wallowing in the misery of a recent breakup, or even just enjoying some of the more happy-go-lucky moments of life, this guy's got an album for you.
