DECEMBER
21, 2011 - Guitarist, Singer, and Songwriter ALASTARI
GREENE has been a
mainstay of the Southern California music scene for over 2 decades.
ALASTAIR was born April 18th, 1971 in Santa Barbara,
CA. He discovered music through his mother's piano
playing at home and whose record collection included classics by THE
BEATLES, STEVIE WONDER, and ELTON JOHN, while his father's tastes at
the time leaned toward BACH and BEETHOVEN. Alastair was inspired to
pursue music as a career by his grandfather, the late CHICO
ALVAREZ, who
played trumpet as a member of the STAN KENTON in the '40s and '50s.
Growing up, Alastair took piano lessons and played the saxophone before
discovering the guitar in High School. He received a scholarship to the
Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he studied for two years
before returning to southern California to begin playing with Blues and
Rock bands in the early ‘90s. Alastair is best known for his
blues-based, soulful, and melodic guitar playing (as well as one of a
rare-breed to play slide guitar), ALASTAIR can be heard on CDs by ALAN
PARSONS (2006
Grammy Nominated ‘A Valid Path’); AYNSLEY
DUNBAR (2008 SPV
Records release ‘Mutiny’); Blues singer, harmonica legend, and former
member of WAR, MITCH
KASHMAR (2005
‘Wake Up and Worry’ on Delta Groove Records), as well as French Blues
Guitarist FRANCK
GOLWASSER’s 2007
release ‘Bluju.’ ALASTAIR has put out 5 of his own CDs and has also
appeared on countless independent CD releases ranging from Blues to
Southern Rock. Alastair's song 'The Long Way Home' appeared in a 2007
episode of the TNT hit TV series 'Saving Grace'. The Hard Rock
CD 'THROUGH
THE RAIN' is
scheduled to be released in November 2011 on LeRoi Records following
the release of the single 'BY
THE WAY' which
features a guitar trade-off solo between Alastair and TY
TABOR from
King's X.
