We were lucky to catch up with Gregg Erwin recently and have shared our conversation below.
Gregg , appreciate you joining us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
Well I have always sang and been around music my whole life. I never really thought that it would go anywhere. I drove a truck for 21 years and hauled all kinds of things. (Mostly agricultural stuff)
Then back around 2014 I was working for a company out of Texas and had some killer bosses. They had came to see me perform in GA while they were out here.
Long story short, when our location closed in 2015 one told me I needed to play music for a living and really supported that if I chose to do it. It was, is and probably always be a challenge to stay busy but I’ve been super blessed with a good support group at home too.
Gregg , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
From a super young age of probably 8 years old I have been performing. I drove a big rig for about 21 years and spent alot of time alone. I came into the industry like a snow ball rolling down a hill. I was getting laid off due to a closure and my boss told me I should pursue my music.
For me anyone that likes country music or southern rock and roll is a potential client.
I play several big events every year and quiet a few private parties.
I usually do around 300 shows a year. Sometimes less sometimes more..
I am a proud American first and performer 2nd.
I love performing for everyone.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
One of the most rewarding things about my job is the ability to change people’s day through the music I play , seeing and meeting all the amazing people on a day to day journey.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
My personal goal is to just do the best I can and always give my all to the friends fans and folks that support me
