BUT... I've seen him a coupla times and his live shows definitely kick it up a notch. Both in performance and personality. He's a very charming guy on stage, tells stories, etc. Now that he's back from that Euro tour, he's trekkin across the States to support his new album that comes out in July - "Three Flights from Alto Nido." I'm lookin fwd to hearing the new tracks and catching his show again! I agree, Greg fits into the category of most singer/songwriters… nice to listen to.

Completely different from "easy listening". He could use a bit of spice in his ways. Not to spice up the songs, they are fine. But his personality when singing is a bit monotone or something. I can't really put my finger on it. I agree to put it in the “Music that is nice to listen to category”. Completely different from “easy listening”.

The exception is "What a Day". This is beautiful song and reminds a bit of a slow ballad by The Counting Crows. However, there is something about his voice that I don't like. He seems to sound the same exact way on every single song with no variation at all and after a while it becomes irritating. Aside from that though, another one worth a listen is "Sing Theresa Sing".

Indeed, it's meant for easy listening, but it's a song that the casual listener can relate to in one way or another. I do think that at some points, Greg Laswell goes a bit too low than he needs to, to make the song work well, but with the instrumental and vocal accompaniment that follows right after, I can forget that and just enjoy the song overall. Definitely a guy and band worth listening too, especially if your into easy, peaceful but meaningful music. What a Day sends goosebumps up my arms.

I did not like his music as its not soothing and also there cannot be any stage performance on his music. I participated in a radio show and got a CD which also had songs by Greg Laswell.
