PERFORMANCE

 

 

Greg Power began working professionally at age 15. By the time he was 16, he was the band leader of his own 7-piece dance band, The Conventional Brass. For the next ten years, Greg continued as a band leader in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and was often hired as a sideman for other local bands. At age 26, he was recommended to Wilmington, Delaware contractor Lloyd Johnston, who immediately put Greg on the "first call" list for some of the most famous bands in the country. For the next 22 years, he performed with such groups as The Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, The Four Tops, The Spinners, Bobby Rydel, The Sammy Kaye Orchestra, Warren Covington, The Pied Pipers, Guy Lombardo's Royal Canadians, Myron Floren, The Nelson Riddle Orchestra, and many, many more. Greg's travels as a performer have taken him across the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, Portugal, Spain, and France. His most memorable performances include playing for President Reagan at his second Inaugural Ball, the national tour of the Broadway show "On Your Toes," and fulfilling a childhood dream by performing on the Mississippi Queen riverboat. Additionally, Greg  has also enjoyed an extensive career as a musical conductor, including conducting for big band singer Helen O'Connell and, locally, conducting the Treasure Coast Jazz Ensemble (which he formed in 1993) and the Peter Jones production of "Chicago" at the Lyric Theatre in Stuart.

Greg is currently available as a free-lance trumpet player/conductor. If you would like to commission his services, or would like some more information, feel free to call or e-mail.
