This is what they are saying about GREG CALDWELL
Quote from WWW.AUSTINMUSICCITY.COM
“Talk about burning up a poll, GREG CALDWELL’s fans came through in a big way chalking up one of the largest totals on record at Austin Music City. In a relatively short time, Caldwell has amassed a huge fan base and it only goes to prove that if you have the talent, they’ll get behind you. The Texas artist’s entry into the music business was somewhat unconventional, brought about by an injury he received that knocked him out of the competition for awhile. “Actually, the whole thing only came together due to an injury I had during track, which put me on the sidelines for the season and left me with idle time. It was the best injury I ever had” Caldwell stated.

Afterwards, he put a small band together and they traveled throughout central Oklahoma playing venues and contests where they could. After graduating from the University of Texas, Caldwell went to Phoenix for graduate school where he got some experience in a recording studio. Caldwell says about the time in Arizona, “Phoenix was nice, but I couldn't wait to get back to Texas, so back I came to discover my career.” In 2001, Caldwell decided to officially “get serious” about his music career and began playing open mike nights around Austin and opening for other bands while steadily building a very loyal and very large fan base and at the same time becoming a respected member of the Texas music community of artists. Everyone that Caldwell has worked with in the past speaks highly of him and thoroughly enjoys working with both he and his group, Code West. The main advantage Greg Caldwell has is that he doesn’t sound like anybody else. He’s got a smooth as bourbon voice that is not limited or rangy and he picks his material very carefully. While thousands of people got to hear “Drive Her Out Of My Mind” on the poll last month, you need to check out his other songs as well. “Man Down”, “Texas Talkin’”, “You Didn’t Hear It From Me,” “Big Tractor,” all killer songs and after listening you’ll see why stations all over the country are adding him to the play list.

HOW GREG GOT STARTED
GREG CALDWELL started playing the classical guitar at the age of 8 and became very accomplished by the age of 12. However, his real love in music has always been Country. In Greg's words "Believe it or not, my first performance was in front of 10,000 people at the Oklahoma State FFA convention. What a break in to the music business! The convention had announced to all the chapters that they were going to be opening with live music, so a few fellow members and I put together a little band called The Four Boys Band and we were selected to open the show. We opened the convention with 2 songs and I was hooked. I knew that one day I wanted to do a lot of singing. Actually, the whole thing only came together due to an injury I had during track, which put me on the sidelines for the season and left me with idle
