Michael Gregory

Michael has been singing since his childhood and always dreamed of becoming a singer and a musician. He was inspired to this when he was voted the “best singer” in his first grade class. Coming from a musical family, his grandfather played for a professional Greek band in New York City. Many of his aunts and cousins were singers or musicians too.

He started playing his mother’s guitar at 12, when she stopped playing it herself. Then started his first rock’n’roll band at the age of 13. Michael has been writing songs since his high school days and has never stopped. In addition to 6 and 12 string guitar Michael also plays bass, harmonica, percussion and drums.

He has over 40 years playing experience in nightclubs, fairs, festivals, casuals, concerts, TV and recording studios. Michael has performed with such bands as "The Stony Brook People", "Full House", "The Box Tops" and back up band for "The Drifters".

He now has 3 bands; Mad Dash a 7 piece show/party/cover band with 3 female vocalists, CoolHeat a 5 piece Smooth Jazz group which plays covers and original music. Third is Inner Outlook an acoustic trio of all original music was just formed last year. He also performs as a solo performer at his own Songsalive Showcase every month. As a new Taxi member, Michael hopes to promote his own music and help others promote their original music as well.
