Laura Mann – Blueberry Festival Marshall County, IN

“Scott Greeson is a dynamic entertainer that was a great addition to the Marshall County Blueberry Festival. I would recommend him to any size festival. He is a great crowd-pleaser!”

David P. Bunte, WBAA Radio Program Director

“I really appreciate the fact that as I listen to Scott, I feel like I am really hearing him… I never get the sense that he is trying to be someone else. That honesty in his writing allows me to concentrate on what he is saying, both musically and lyrically, and I often find that I can relate to it with a kind of ‘Yeah… I know what you mean.’ … I also admire the fact that Scott has done so much for other local artists, whether helping them in the studio, or simply encouraging them to find their own voice, and sharing with others.”

Amie Loprestie, Booking Coordinator – Verizon Wireless Music Center

“Scott Greeson is always a crowd pleaser and class act when he comes to Verizon Wireless Music Center. Our VIPs love it when he comes to play!!”

Speaking of Scott Greeson and Kevin Ludwig, Stone wrote in his review of Wabash Gypsies: “These two guys plus two guitars equals fine music”

From the blog of Tim Brouk, Arts and Entertainment columnist for the Lafayette, IN Journal & Courier, January 2010

Scott Greeson — While he probably won’t take credit, the humble Greeson has been a mentor to a strong crop of singer-songwriters that have included Annie Hatke, Malachi Jaggers and many others. With a backing band or solo, Greeson has played all over Indiana and has recorded some well-crafted albums — either his own or his peers’ — in his own home studio. Perhaps the nicest guy in the scene; perhaps the planet, too.

Excerpt from A Review of Wabash Gypsies by Rick Zigler of the Broad Ripple Gazette

Greeson and Ludwig are well-established local artists, and Wabash Gypsies is a stunning work, also informed by adversity. Conceived as a tribute to Greeson’s first wife, who, after a long bout, died of congenital heart disease a few years back, the album has been almost a decade in the making and, as Greeson says, was part of his healing process. One song, “The Prophet,” was used in the recently aired PBS documentary, “Wabash: Life On The Bright White River,” and it is from this that the album takes its title. But nothing can truly prepare you for the beautiful instrumental work that lies within.

The intertwining of Greeson and Ludwig’s acoustic guitars is gorgeous, almost mystical, but nevertheless is rooted in fine pop hooks and excellent songwriting. Opener “Awakening” lays out the template with the double picking of the acoustics sending forth a crystal clear sound and, if I’m not mistaken, also contains the occasional nod to the Moody Blues. “Llama Dance” has one guitar strumming and the other picking, with signature hooks dotting the landscape. “Winter Banks” has a stunning “chiming” sound, while “Gypsies On The Wabash” starts with a mellow sound but evolves into a blues-jazz hybrid of great originality. “Tunnel Of Trees’ provides more of an edge to the proceedings than the other tunes, underscored by some Mellencamp-like chord changes, while “Prayer Without Words” is almost classical in its elegance. For this listener, acoustic guitar discs sometimes induce drowsiness and inattention, but that is never the case with Wabash Gypsies, as the top-notch songwriting and playing commands, indeed, demands, your attention throughout.

While Greeson has put out laudable works before this, his partnership with Ludwig has yielded something even finer. Highly recommended!
