Johnny Cash once called Greg Garing “the best country singer I’ve heard in 30 years.”
Now, Garing brings his singular blend of country, blues, and roots music to The Deanery School of Music on Sunday, October 11th, at 7 p.m.

The intimate performance will be limited to 40 people, with no PA — just the pure sound of guitar, piano, and voice, each deeply rich with nuance and emotion. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door, available now at bit.ly/greggaring.

Background
Garing began his musical journey playing fiddle with bluegrass legend Jimmy Martin. In the 1990s, he surfaced on Nashville’s Lower Broadway, resurrecting the spirit of Hank Williams at legendary clubs Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge and Robert’s, where Lucinda Williams regularly joined him.

Garing later moved to New York City, where he was backed by the Harlem All-Stars, featuring such greats as Al Casey, Tootsie Bean, Bubba Brooks, and others. His songs are rooted in straight-no-chaser real life and have been recorded by numerous artists, including Wanda Jackson, who recorded two Garing songs for her 2012 album, Unfinished Business.

Notable Quotes
“Greg Garing taps a deep vein of rural American soul music and transports it to the underbelly of modern urban nightlife in all its haunted, singular, never-say-die glory. It’s the same vein enriched by Bill Monroe, Hank Williams, and Johnny Cash, and, for that matter, Robert Johnson, Leadbelly, and Howlin’ Wolf. … He’s survived deadly ailments and the tentacles of the corporate music industry with all of his powers, integrity, and authenticity intact. He proves it every time he takes a stage.” — Michael McCall, Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum

Garing’s performances — whether with a backing band or completely solo — are electrifying, spontaneous, and deeply felt. This is a rare opportunity to experience that intensity in a room with only 40 seats.
