From the Lansing Jazz Festival website: As the guitarist for the internationally acclaimed and award-winning band Root Doctor, guitarist Greg Nagy's playing has earned praise from many significant publications, such as Down Beat, Hittin' the Note, The Chicago Sun Times and Living Blues, to name a few.
