Musician

Greg Nagy

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.

Greg is regarded as a fierce, tasteful, and creative guitarist in the international blues community. As Living Blues notes, "...guitarist Greg Nagy knows when to fly with a solo and when to kick back," and Hittin' the Note describes Greg's playing as "...forceful and precise."


Greg is looking to record this fall (2008) with his own band, The Greg Nagy Band, and Root Doctor is also expecting to release a live album at that time as well.

It's not necessarily obvious to think of Michigan's “thumb" as being a hotbed of blues music. Sure, Detroit has produced a large share of jazz, R&B and Doo-Wop groups, and the state was home to the frantic blues-fueled rock of the Stooges and the MC5, but despite its proximity to Chicago, Michigan's lower third doesn't exude ...
