I met Greg at Sopranos Piano Bar in Aruba a few days before recording this episode in 2019. He is the ultimate piano bar entertainer and is an expert at keeping crowds of tourists from all over the world engaged and happy. Greg is the resident entertainer at Sopranos during Aruba’s busiest two months, Jan and Feb. He has been returning annually for over ten years now. When not in Aruba, Greg duels and plays rooms throughout the US.We discuss playing on cruise ships, the role of BS on stage, blues scales, Amstel Bright beer, live sound, managing drunk audiences, staying up-to-date with pop, setting audience expectations, competing against iPhones for attention, the Yamaha CP33, and the island of Aruba among many other great topics.Meeting Greg inspired me to pursue piano bar entertainment and quit the band I was playing with at the time. Fast forward to 2021, we are good friends and I consider him a mentor regarding all things piano bar entertainment. This episode is long overdue. Enjoy!
