Hey Everyone,
Things have started to settle now since NYE Eve and into 2022..I’ve been working playing gigs steadily since then. I’m just starting to update the gig guide on here after so many changes and cancelations have made it impossible to post them through late 2021. After posting backyard songs on FaceBook though all the lockdowns with my neighbour Bud, thanks to all your enthusiastic responses, we’ve transitioned into doing live shows now.
Gigs are slowly returning after a long lockdown. Two DV8 gigs this month and a bunch of other solo and duos. For those who have been following me and my neighbour Bud during out backyard sessions on Facebook through lockdown, we have a couple of shows in January booked. Sunday January 9th at Newcastle Farmers Markets from 10am-1pm and we’re opening for Alex Lloyd at Toronto Hotel on Friday, January 14th.
Myself, Georgia Hazzard and Robbie Long have been steadily working on a new album since mid last year. A fresh batch of acoustic slide songs along with some electric guitar based funk and rock creations
. There are a couple of new versions of tunes from Jigzag and DV8 days as well. I’ll keep you updated on our progress.
Yes! There’s a few shows on the horizon as we gradually emerge from Covid-19 lockdown time. DV8 are busy rehearsing new songs and a few old album tracks that we haven’t played live in years. First show is at Locals on the Lake at Toronto Hotel Saturday July 11th from 7-8pm. Mezz Bar on July 17 is our first full show from 8pm. Club Macquarie will be on Sunday September 20th from 2pm and stay tune for more shows in between.
Hi Everyone!
Tomorrow we hit the rehearsal room and start to prepare for our first gig back from this period of isolation. Friday July 17th at Wallsend Diggers-Mezz Bar. Time to create new songs and brush up on the classics. we’ll keep you updated.
Hey Everyone!
It’s been quiet times for live gigs, however it’s been a perfect time to write and record new songs. The GB Band including Georgia Hazzard on bass and Robbie Long on drums, guitars and myself have been putting down new tracks at Funky Lizard studios when we can afford the space. 6 songs started and some new ones in the pipeline. A mix of funky electric and acoustic slide grooves and a couple of inventive co-writes with Georgia along with a reworked version of “Get Back Home”. We’re having loads of fun and enjoying some refreshing new sounds.
We’ll keep you updated. Stay tuned!

Thank you everyone for your support and musical company! This is a very unusual and uncertain time for all my professional musician friends. Last night at the Kent Hotel on March 22nd 2020 was my final live performance for an unforeseen period of time. All due to the government lockdown on all “non-essential services” due to the spread of the Corona Virus. I hope this lockdown helps keep people safe and well. I will remain steady, positive and creative during this time of quiet retreat. Some brand new music will be recorded and I’ll look forward to sharing it with you soon.
I’m leaving my previously booked gigs up for the time being even though these venues will remain closed for some time….
Happy New Year 2020 Everyone!
Thanks for joining myself and DV8 at so many shows through 2019. Thank you to the wonderful Yogi’s bassist Len Samperi for filling in for Mark from DV8 while he was recovering from surgery. Thank you to Georgia Hazzard for playing awesome bass and Travis Suprano on drums in the Greg Bryce Band during 2019. Coming into 2020 we’ll have Robbie Long taking over from Trav on drums and vocals and Georgie on bass. We have some fantastic brand new original songs to be recorded this year with GB Band.
Trav, Mark and myself with DV8 have some special shows planned also. We’ll be with Dragon on January 11th at Warners Bay Hotel and we plan to do some special themed shows during 2020 with songs we haven’t played in a while. Stay tuned!
We’re well into the second half of 2019 now and between DV8 and solo gigs there’s been more shows with Greg Bryce Project featuring Georgia Hazzard on bass and Travis Suprano on drums. The repertoire for this band is constantly expanding. Original songs from Hot Yogis, DV8, Jigzag and other newly created tracks along with an expanding list of covers spanning 80s, 90s and up to date songs.
2019 is off to a great start….many and varied shows from solo acoustic, Hot Yogis with Robbie and Len, DV8 and the new trio with Georgia Hazzard on bass and Travis Suprano on drums…I’ve also spent 3 weeks in India and now back into writing new songs and making new plans…The Live at the Foreshore Concert has come and gone for DV8 in March and many more shows are planned for the year. See you at a gig soon!
