Greg Piccolo: A Lifetime of Music and Moving Forward
Greg Piccolo’s journey in music started in Westerly, Rhode Island, where he formed his first band at just 13 years old. From those early days, he quickly built a following in New England. His talent caught the eye of Duke Robillard, founder of the legendary Roomful of Blues. Over 25 years with the band, Greg helped shape their distinctive sound and solidify their reputation as one of the top blues bands worldwide. He toured extensively, recorded numerous albums, and became a key figure in blues history.
A New Chapter with Heavy Juice
In 1994, Greg launched his own band, Heavy Juice. This move allowed him to explore different musical styles and showcase his versatility. His energetic, spontaneous live performances blend blues, rock ‘n’ roll, and rhythm & blues. Since then, Heavy Juice has been his main outlet for creative expression. Despite his long career, Greg remains dedicated to evolving as an artist.
A Focus on Songwriting and Personal Reflection
Recently, Greg released Who Knows What the Future Holds on MoMojo Records. This album marks a departure from his previous work, emphasizing his role as a singer-songwriter. All songs are unpublished tunes written over the years, giving fans a deeply personal glimpse into his life. The album was produced by Terry Manning, a legendary figure whose work spans from Led Zeppelin to ZZ Top. Tragically, Manning passed away shortly after mixing the album, making this project a heartfelt tribute.
A Rich Musical Tapestry
The record features a variety of styles – from upbeat pop and reggae-influenced tunes to heartfelt ballads. Tracks like “I’ve Lost Faith” and “Truth Is a Sly Fox” showcase Piccolo’s sharp lyrical wit and storytelling. Songs like “Break In the Clouds” and “Guilty” reveal his more introspective side. His vocal delivery remains authentic and relaxed, emphasizing character over perfection. The music is rooted in groove, rich with storytelling, and alive with the spirit of decades of experience.
Collaborations and Musical Legacy
Throughout his career, Greg shared the stage with icons such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Pat Benatar, and Big Joe Turner. His collaborations with talented musicians like Jimmie Vaughan and members of The Texas Horns further showcase his versatility. His long-standing reputation as a powerhouse saxophonist and vocalist continues to grow, even at age 75.
A Personal and Artistic Milestone
Who Knows What the Future Holds represents a significant shift – a focus on his songwriting and personal stories. Recorded at Sonic Ranch in El Paso, Texas, the album captures both reflection and energy. Despite Manning’s sudden passing, Greg honored his producer’s vision, completing the project with care and respect. The result is an album filled with honesty, groove, and resilience.
