Gregory Boyd is good, real good. Furthermore, he is on the cutting edge.
Originally from Louisiana, USA, and now hailing from Denmark, this artist is

of his vocals, clarity of thought in his lyrics and unorthodox,

aloofness of Monk, blended with the soulfulness of an Al Green, coupled with
the musical presence of a Jimi Hendrix, Boyd can jazz, funk and ring in the

New York, USA - In an exclusive interview with When Steel Talks, singer and steelpanist,
Gregory Boyd - a product of his rich musical heritage and history - takes

all Gregory Boyd...
