Bio
Shortly after slicing out a tour in the shape of North America, Greg Rekus will be touring Canada then Europe. In mid January Greg will be stomping down that snowy trail out west as far as Edmonton and returning back to Winnipeg. Come March Greg will head east through the states before jumping on a plane from Montreal to Paris. Still pumped up from last year’s European tour Greg will be hitting countries across the continent, hopping along to the west as far as the UK and east as far as Ukraine.
Live, Greg’s act can be described as punk rock meets outlaw country hooked up to a huge transformer to kick up the energy to 1.21 gigawatts. The lyrical content stretches from drinking in your favourite bar, to the friends you have, to quitting your job, political jousting, life in general, and then back again. All this when strumming the hell out of an acoustic guitar and stomping the beat out on his custom built stomp box.
Produced and engineered by sound wiz John Paul Peters, “The Dude Abides” has 10 original songs showcasing a raw, stripped down, bare bones sound that ears everywhere drool over. For 5 days Greg and John locked themselves away in Private ear studios escaping exclusively for delicious burritos, gourmet pizza, and spontaneous listening sessions on the van stereo. The out come was a punk stomp album that is trading in some of the traditional elements for a frenetically played acoustic guitar, and stomp.
