        "bio" : "Greg Williams has been an active guitarist, composer, educator, and all-around churl in the Sacramento, CA area for almost 20 years. He has performed, written and recorded in various musical disciplines including contemporary classical, electronic, acid jazz, folk/rock, heavy metal, and specialized music for radio, television and film.\n\nHis works have been broadcast on NPR, Capitol Public Radio, and other local television and radio stations, and he co-wrote and produced the 2002-3 theme music for the Sacramento Kings basketball team. He has been awarded 3 Sacramento music awards for his work in the acid jazz/funk group The Mind Club, and has been featured in Electronic Musician and 20th Century Guitar magazines.\n\nHis most recent work is the 2007 CD \"A Circle of Hidden Intentions\", in which he combines solo acoustic guitar and live-looping technology to create minimalistic, multi-layered, grooving instrumental pieces all perfomed live in real time in his home studio. Greg performs regularly throughout Northern California, and he has performed in the United States, Canada, England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales.\n\nGreg has also played prestigious electro-acoustic music festivals such as the Edinburgh Fringe Arts Festival in Scotland, the Y2K7 International Live-Looping Festival in Santa Cruz CA, and the Northern California Festival of New American Music. Greg received his BM in classical guitar performance at Sacramento State under Dr. Richard Savino, and his MM in Composition under Stephen Blumberg.\n\nGreg is currently on the faculty at Sacramento State teaching beginning guitar classes and general education music history classes, and spends his summers and winters performing, composing, and recording. Greg is also an avid home brewer, and enjoys brewing and consuming such beers as Dunkelhead Dunkelweizen, Pride of 38th Street Bitter, and Blackheart Stout.",
