About Greg Laswell

Singer-songwriter Greg Laswell has a rare gift for employing metaphor, mystery and honesty with equal acumen. The Southern
California troubadour has garnered considerable critical acclaim with his uncompromising songwriting and raw, visceral delivery – rightly
drawing comparisons to the likes of Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave – but also exhibiting an honesty that consistently unlocks a door to a
very personal place, defined only by a singular collective of experiences.

The Big Takeover described him as “a masterful, distinctive, and vital artist” – “distinctive” being the operative word. Popmatters called his
work, “haunting and genuine.” Filter described his songs as “punches to the gut.” And BlackBook said, “Rightly compared to the likes of
Leonard Cohen and late Jeff Buckley.”

Greg’s songs have appeared in marquee network television shows, from True Blood to Grey’s Anatomy, The Vampire Diaries to Arrow –
whenever a particularly poignant scene needs to be rawly soundtracked. His track “Dodged A Bullet” closed out the season
finale of NBC’s The Blacklist in 2016 with much fanfare.

Known for his twists on cover songs, Greg released Covers II, an EP covering the likes of PJ Harvey, Depeche Mode, The Verve, and Peter
Gabriel. And Greg is currently in the studio finishing up on his next album, scheduled for release this winter.
