Greg Fleming

Greg Fleming is a pioneer of alt country in New Zealand. One of his first gigs was supporting Texan legend Townes Van Zandt, afterwards Van Zandt took him aside and told him “Greg, don’t ever stop writing”.
Greg didn’t and eight critically acclaimed albums bear out Van Zandt's belief.

Often referred to as the “Godfather of Nz alt country” his lyrical gifts mark him as one of the sharpest observers in the genre. His work traverses an eclectic range of material - including rock, blues, country, soul, folk and pop.

Reviews
“In a country of fake folkies, Fleming is a consummate songwriter - a no-nonsense poet of Auckland’s urban sprawl... Like the great country songwriters (Townes, H. Williams I, George Jones) Fleming uses the everyday as fertile material — it doesn’t need a whole lot else."

“...noir songs about late nights, tragic figures and chance encounters... with tough backing from Fleming's truly fantastic backing band... Evocative songs... wonderfully played and beautifully produced." Sunday Star Times
