Greg Morton and Mark Robertson-Tessi

about

Greg Morton Greg was born in Memphis, Tennessee. He began to play the guitar when he was 12. His twin brother, Randal Morton, began to play the banjo at about the same time, and the two were often headliners at various bluegrass festivals around the country. Greg's natural musical ability allowed him to quickly develop a mastery of the guitar, and helped him win several guitar and mandolin championships. As he sharpened his skills playing traditional bluegrass music, he began to apply his talents to other musical styles, including country and Jazz. He caught the attention of Nashville-based musicians and began touring with Mark O'Connor, the White family, and also toured around the world as a featured member of the USO, and lead guitarist for Don Ho's band in Honolulu, Hawaii. Eventually, his travels brought him to Tucson, Arizona. Far from the hills of Tennessee, Greg found that the &quothigh lonesome" sounds of bluegrass music were already reverberating through the canyons of the Sonoran Desert in Southern Arizona. In 1995, Greg Morton won the Arizona State Guitar Championship, and in 2001, 2002, and 2004, he was the recipient of the prestigious TAMMIES Award (Tucson Area Music Awards) for Best Acoustic Guitarist. Greg's band, the Greg Morton Trio, won the TAMMIES Award for Best Country & Western Band in 2003, and Best Bluegrass Band in 2004. Today, Greg plays in various venues throughout southern Arizona, and has recently released his Solo Guitar CD. Mark Robertson-
