Soul Be It

Gregg Rai - Guitar, Vocals

Gregg's interest in the guitar was fueled by the work of guitarists in funk, soul, and R&B groups of the 60s and 70s. He learned to play by working out of the Chicago songbook, and so developed an affinity for bands with heavily integrated horns.

Gregg has played in New York for 20 years as a writer and arranger of his and other original projects, and as a sideman. He has played and recorded with Uptown Local, L.I.C., Blue Rhythm, Liz Winnick, Tropic of Cancer, Sonny Hudson, Mother, Mia Sunshine, Acme Jazz Ensemble, Janey Dean, Roberto "Congoman" Watts, Electric Eye, Poetic Noshun, Dix Hatband, and All of Us.
