Background:

Greg Friedman picked up his first guitar at 13 and became a fixture in Baltimore and Washington DC’s thriving punk rock scene. He later studied at Peabody Institute, where his classical training along with his punk fury, fueled his appetite for new musical challenges. He tours the country disguised as Ott Truckee, the bassist for Southern California’s enigmatic rock-n-roll band, the Truckee Brothers. His solo debut record Souls of Passing Feet was nominated Best Pop Album at the 2007 San Diego Music Awards.
