Excelling at piano at the age of 8, and guitar at 11, Greg Pope's drive to understand and master a varity of music - from rock to pop to country - help to shape his unique voice and sound. Ultimately, it was country music that won him, driving him to focus on his songwriting and make the move to Nashville. Writing with names like Dierks Bentley, Don Pfrimmer and Kyle Cook of Matchbox Twenty, Greg's skils grew and his resolve intensified. Taking inspiration from country artists like George Strait and Kenny Chesney as well as rock legends like U2 and Journey, he molded those influences into a sound all his own. He searches for stories and melodies in the people he meets and strives to create music that will stand the test of time. Greg's new album, "The Great Unknown", was released August 1, 2011 and is available on gregpopemusic.co, itunes, cdbaby and reverbnation.
