Greg Foster Gladman is a long standing staple in the Colorado music scene, specializing in a wide variety of electric guitar styles.
“Greg is an amazing musician and extremely professional. I was impressed at how easily and quickly he can learn material and having the pleasure to work with him on a semi regular basis, I marvel every time at his guitar skills, guitar tone, feel and at his ability to sing both leads and a background vocals. He is a great bassist and producer as well and I highly recommend him for any professional gig.” - Mario Pagliarulo
“I have known, listened to, and worked with Greg for a number of years. He is a great multi instrumentalist and an asset to any group he performs with. He has my highest recommendation!” - Mark Diamond
"My songs have always featured the guitar prominently, and I'm very picky about the players I work with. When Greg Foster first contacted me about performing on my new album, I jumped at the opportunity. For years, I've admired his fine technical skills, deep soulful stylings, flawless execution and sheer passion. His well-thought-out interpretation really gave life to the song "Thicker Than", and took it to a dynamic level I'd never imagined. A truly under-discovered talent!" - Lucifer Large
A self professed music historian, Greg began playing guitar at a time when classic rock hadn’t become ‘classic’ yet. He has played and recorded in a wide variety of bands ranging in styles from metal, rock, and country to R&B, Soul and Jazz. But he never loses sight of the roots from which it all stems, The Blues.
He started out in rock/metal bands like Threshold, Nasty's Nightmare, and Millionaire Freaks. But his desire for a deeper understanding of the music led him to the blues scene. Bands like Network!, Mojambus, and Eugene Carthen's Power Band had him playing 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.
Other artists he has performed with include Dotsero, Hamilton Loomis, Voodoo Kings, The Broken Everly’s, the Living Deads, Carolina Reign and Kelsey Jo & The Wildcards.
Highlights in Gregs performance career include The Winter Park Jazz and the Catalina Island JazzTrax Festivals.
National artists that Greg has been an opening act for include Mr. Big, Savatage, Styx, Steve Morse Band, Joe Bonner, Chris Duarte, En Vogue, Bellamy Bros., Gerald Albright, Regina Belle.
Greg continues to be an in demand guitar player, in addition to writing & producing music and offering private lessons in his home studio.
