Greg Annussek: A catchy brand of alternative roots rock.

Greg Annussek first picked up a guitar in his early 20s with the aim of learning a few chords and strumming along with some classic tunes by the Beatles and Elvis Costello. Within a few years, this freelance writer from New York City was moonlighting as a singer-songwriter, producing a catchy brand of alternative rock blended with elements of country and folk. To some music critics, his roots-rock echoes and memorable hooks have called to mind the likes of Jakob Dylan, Matthew Sweet, and Ron Sexsmith among others.

Greg's debut CD "Little Palaces" explores a variety of styles and moods, from the indie rock of tracks like "Young Again" and "In the Movies" to the twangy alt-country of "Long Way Down." As Shredding Paper magazine put it, "Annussek sleekly takes parts of pop, western, and electrics, and mixes it into a non-acoustic version of the singer-songwriter tradition. It's nice to see the tradition stretched in directions beyond its standard confines." Songs from Greg's CD have been licensed by the Big Brother reality TV show as well as by the Travel Channel, the Fine Living Network, and other cable TV channels.
