Greg McGrath

We first heard of Greg through his dad, who sold us the speakers we use in the studio. Greg came out when the studio was not quite fully operational, and then back again to record his first studio album, Uninvited Guest. He loves Whitefish so much that he keeps showing up (full disclosure: it's no coincidence that him and one of our bloggers have the same name - Greg also writes for us), and since he's always around for groundbreaking, we managed to get him here at the same time as Luke Temple for the very first SnowGhost session. He brought a few songs with him, and managed to write and record a few new ones, too.

The end result was Uninvited Guest<... read more >
