Greg Herriges stirs a mix of original and traditional “progressive world music” on guitar, voice, and Greek bouzouki, with a unique approach honed by his studies of Asian, Mediterranean, and other worldly styles. An award-winning composer and performer, his music and writing have found international recognition. Integrating Eastern and Western sounds, he spins new webs out of everything from Indian ragas and Turkish folk to Japanese court music and American surf-jazz.

With a background in progressive rock and fingerstyle guitar, Greg studied ethnomusicology, focusing on Indian, Indonesian, and East Asian classical traditions. He went on to write instructional music books and multimedia for Hal Leonard Publishing, specializing in world music for guitar. Also a composer of theater and soundtrack music, his lifeblood is performing; he is equally at home playing with cross-cultural ensembles or "letting one guitar play him."
