My live schedule!
"I've been making music in Colorado and around the midwest for quite some time now. On this website you'll be able to see what I've done, what I'm up to and what services I have to offer. So check it out, enjoy your stay, let me know what you think, and thanks for visiting!" -Greg
Greg Foster Gladman is a staple in the Colorado music scene, and a self professed music historian. As a young teenager he began playing guitar at a time when classic rock hadn’t become ‘classic’ yet and the 1980s were just getting started. Though he has played and recorded throughout the Midwest in a variety of cover and original bands ranging in styles from metal, rock, and country to R&B, Soul and Jazz, he never loses sight of the roots from which it all stems, the Blues.
He started out in bands like Threshold (old school Ft. Collins metal), Nasty's Nightmare (with KBPI's then prime time DJ, Uncle Nasty), and Millionaire Freaks (an original funky rock group).
But his desire for a deeper understanding of the music led him to the blues scene.
Bands like Network! (possibly Denver's hardest working old school R&B cover band), Mojambus (a premier front range roots act), and Eugene Carthen's Power Band (hosting the longest running open stage in Denver) had him playing the blues several nights a week for over 10 years.
Working with local artists like Sheryl Renee, The Broken Everlys, and Kelly J, has helped him to better understand the elements of what makes a song great. And that continues to be his motivation, to play a great song.
National artists that Greg has worked with or been an opening act for include Mr. Big, Savatage, Styx, Steve Morse Band, Joe Bonner, Chris Duarte, Jason Ricci, John Lee Hooker Jr., Hamilton Loomis, Voodoo Kings, and Carolina Reign.
Bands he is currently working with include Kelsey Jo & The Wildcards, country music at it's finest, and Denver's own contemporary Jazz treasure, Dotsero!
He also front’s his own group, Swampthang, which features southern rock with a Big Easy twist!
