GT returns to the SMSWF with a collection of new material and a handful of vivid stories to accompany his tunes. You will definitely want to catch his storytelling sets
“I’ve dedicated my life to songwriting.
Vividly, I still remember listening to music in the back seat of the family VW Square Back on those sticky, hot summer days in Tampa, FL. I was too young to know much, but I knew one thing was for sure. Music made me so many things. It made me forget. It made me think. It made me sad at times. It made me look beyond the present and deep into the past. It made me happy. Those classic R&B, Pop, Country, Rock-n-Roll, and Lounge Singer tunes my mother used to play still resonate in my ears from time to time as a reminder of where I come from. Music has always influenced me. The soundtrack to my life is vast and it continues to grow each day.

For a songwriter it’s impossible to pinpoint where one’s style was developed. Sure, we all have our influences and desert island albums, but there are so many sounds, so many styles, so many personas and individuals that have left a mark on our psyche as we pass through their worlds riding those sweet melodies.
I hope one day to be as influential to one young artist as so many greats were to me. I don’t seek notoriety or fame. I seek only to share the honesty and integrity I have dedicated to the craft of songwriting with others interested in carrying the torch lit by the late greats.
We’re at a time where music is as vulnerable as it has ever been. It is the duty of every artist within the industry to contribute to the evolution of song.”
