--------------------------------------------------------------
The Greers formed in 1986 performing their
original style of bluegrass music for audiences throughout the west coast
and Canada.
In 1998 The Greers were warmly welcomed to Southern Illinois and Missouri
where they regrouped with some of Missouri's Finest to continue making
acoustic music.
With their heartfelt harmonies, sincerity and wit, the Greers are an act
that will not soon be forgotten.
With their combination of traditional bluegrass, Louvin style country and
original compositions the show is one everyone can enjoy.
To date the band has done four recordings including "Walk on In" and their
newest release "Scorched Heart & Ashes"
The Greers were also selected to be a part of WESTAF along side Laurie Lewis
and Loose Ties.
