Milwaukee native Greg Koch has forged a successful career
as “a guitar player’s guitarist.” He is not only a fiercely creative
player with a whole trick bag of impressive techniques, ranging
from Albert Lee chicken-pickin’ to Albert King string-bending
to all-out Hendrixian abandon, he is also is a clinician for
Fishman Transducers and his wildly popular “guitar test drive”
videos (4,000 to date) for Wildwood Guitars of Louisville,
Colorado have generated 50 million views. Koch also has a
signature axe which was released in 2019 by Reverend Guitars,
named the Greg Koch Signature Gristlemaster. The guitar
colors were given somewhat humorous names like: Kochwork
Orange, and Blucifer. He is also a best-selling method book
author and video instructor for music publisher Hal Leonard
and a contributing columnist for a variety of guitar magazines
including Guitar Player. Guitar great Steve Vai, who released
Koch’s 2001 album The Grip on his own Favored Nations
label, heaped praise on his fellow guitarist: “Greg Koch is
one of those rare guitarists that can blend various styles
with a light-hearted approach and a tremendous amount of
technique. Hearing him play is inspiring to a guitar player to
try to achieve greatness on the instrument.”

The Susi French Connection – Rocking 70s Disco and Soul for the Discriminating Dancer
The Susi French Connection (SFC) consists of a group of local music industry vets who came together to do one show of 70s songs in 2000. 22 years later, SFC performs semiannual shows of songs that bring fans onto the dance floor. Because once wedding season is over, it’s a lonely long night for those of us who love to get out there.
From disco to classic soul and the occasional singer-songwriter gem, the band digs deep into the 70s cannon for songs that are fun to play, perhaps overlooked, or fit nicely into a mashup. One never knows what will pop up on the set list, but rest assured a cocktail and some Bee Gees will get you where you need to go.
