Posted

Perhaps Greg is best remembered as the hard driving, soulful singer, sax player and songwriter with Roomful of Blues, Rhode Island's internationally renowned jump blues band. Born in  Pawcatuck, Connecticut, the "other side" of Westerly, R. I. Greg was with Roomful for 24 years.  But Greg has been following his own muse as Greg Piccolo and Heavy Juice since the early '90s. Now recognized as one of rhythm and blues most influential sax players, Greg will appear at Common Fence Music fresh from his late January appearance at Sax-O-Rama in Barcelona, Spain.

WHERE: Common Fence Point Community Hall, 933 Anthony Road, Portsmouth

WHEN: Saturday, Feb. 27; 8 p.m.
