Calendar Pick: Johann Greco Album Release

Johann Greco Project

After a stint away from music, Johann Greco is returning with a new record called Hopelessness, out May 2 on Arfus Records. Greco’s genre-bending songwriting developed during his time playing bars across the Southeast in both party bands and original outfits. He has spent the past 30 years of song-making cultivating a broad musical taste and a spirit of experimentation. His new album is about moments where everything felt hopeless, with a sound oscillating between pensive balladry and upbeat rock that calls back to the ‘80s and ‘90s. Greco will play the new album at this release show opening for indie-pop band The Shut-Ups. Fellow local musician Jeff Fox will also play a solo set of songs from his project Jumping Through Fiery Hoops.

WHO: Johann Greco Album Release
