Greg McGarvey is a songwriter living in the Delaware Valley. 

Born in Middlesex County, New Jersey on April 29, 1983, Greg comes from a musical family,

Greg’s grandfather Nelson, a talented multi-instrumentalist and singer, bought him his first guitar when he was six. That same summer, in what became an annual tradition, Greg’s guitarist father Scott took him to see The Everly Brothers perform. Electrified by the magic of their otherworldly harmonies, Don Everly’s famously powerful rhythm guitar playing, and their dynamic, genre-hopping, all-star band, Greg left Valley Forge Music Fair determined to get onstage with his own songs and his own band - and with both brothers’ autographs on his guitar.  

Immersing himself through his high school years in the music of Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Neil Young, The Velvet Underground, Patti Smith, and R.E.M., Greg’s early music ranged from melodic, acoustic ballads to high-volume rock with a heavy emphasis on improvisation.   

Greg performs in a variety of contexts - intimate, solo acoustic performances, with Righteous Jolly in The Jolly Tinkers and other projects, and full-band concerts with his ever-morphing band. 

Greg is also a visual artist.
