A mix of soulful roots music with heartfelt grooves, deep blues, and a few unexpected turns.

A multi-faceted artist in the most classic sense, his songwriting, singing, and guitar playing beautifully reveal Nagy’s personalized music refreshingly and honestly infused with elements of soul, r&b, rock, and gospel. So unique and impressive was his debut release, Walk That Fine Thin Line, that it earned Nagy a prestigious Best New Artist debut nomination from the Blues Foundation in Memphis, as well as favorable reviews from hard-to-please critics at top media outlets like Down Beat, All About jazz, Blues Revue, Chicago Tribune, Detroit Free Press, Living Blues, Hittin’ The Note, Elmore Magazine and more. DJs throughout North America, Europe, and Australia responded enthusiastically to Nagy’s music, which debuted on the National Living Blues Radio charts at #14 and peaked at #3 on XM satellite radio -- no small achievement.

Nagy raised his own bar several notches with the dynamic follow-up, Fell Toward None. Ken Bays of Rollingstone.com called the release one of the best of 2011. Nagy also received high praise from such notables as Bruce Iglauer of Alligator Records, Sing Out Magazine, About.com, and much more. The record further carved out his place in the upper echelon of contemporary blues inspired artists, and charted at #3 on XM radio (again, no small achievement).

On the heels of his impressive sophomore record, Nagy was given the honor of performing at B.B. King’s Blues Club in Memphis the following year for the Blues Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony (with icons the likes of Buddy Guy and Allen Toussaint present) as his star continued to rise.

Nagy's third release, Stranded, an eclectic blend of original blues, soul, and r&b released in Feb 2015, received four stars from Soul Bag, DownBeat, as well as high praise from Vintage Guitar, Blues in Britain and more. Stranded also spent 14 weeks at Number One and seven consecutive months in the Top Ten on the Root Music Soul/R&B charts. In high rotation on XM/Sirius and spinning on hundreds of stations around the globe, Stranded most recently made DownBeat's Best of 2015 and was listed the #2 album of the year for Root Music Report's Soul and R&B charts. Stranded is a recording that continues to win Greg Nagy international attention and acclaim.

Greg was a performing, writing, producing, and recording member of the acclaimed Michigan Band Root Doctor for five years. Their album Change Ours Way was nominated for a BMA (Blues Music Awards in Memphis TN) in the Soul Blues Category and charted in the Top Ten for Living Blues Radio Charts in 2007. Greg has also recorded a duet with Georgia Music Hall Of Famer E.g. Kight on her BMA nominated release entitled Bad Times (produced by Paul Hornsby). Most recently he recorded guitar and vocals for the Grammy winning artist Bobby Murray. On this release, Greg sings the title track which is a song about Bobby's former boss of 23 years, the great Etta James. Love Letters From Detroit won a DMA (Detroit Music Award) in 2022. He also has recorded vocals on a track with Ronnie Earl and Nick Taborias on Nick's soon to be released album. Greg has been touring with the Larry McCray Band and performing with his own shows for the past three years.

As of Nov 1st 2024, Nagy is back out on his own and has released his forth solo cd entitled The Real You which is already receiving critical acclaim and significant airplay: (Living Blues Charts, Top Ten International Blues Albums, Number Two Roots Music Report for Contemporary Blues Albums, and Top Ten Canadian Blues Albums Charts). The Real You is also playing on Sirius XM. He is a unique, soulful, compelling, and powerful performer whose records have garnered the praise of industry heavies and his live shows are not to be missed!

Blues music by its nature evokes pain, hardship and troubles, finding a sort of sanguine healing in the very expression of the songs themselves. And so it is with Michigan blues guitarist Greg Nagy, whose latest album, “Stranded,” was written and recorded as his marriage fell apart. “I went into this record over a year ago while in the early stages of ending a 24-year marriage, quite possibly one of the toughest things I’ve ever faced,” Nagy told Local Spins. “I often felt dead on my feet. And yet, music kept me going – not the career of music or the idea of music – but just the music.

“The songs, the performances and the entire process seemed to unfold on its own. Too beat to think about it, I just did it. Singing, writing, playing became an exercise in meditation, in breathing, in staying alive.” What emerged on Nagy’s third solo album – recorded at Lansing keyboard player Jim Alfredson’s studio, with mixing and mastering by Glenn Brown – is an intense yet hopeful set of songs.

Somebody needs to come right out and say it: this guy really sounds like Stevie Ray Vaughan -- not just vocally (though at times, and especially on the rather hilarious "Facebook Mama," the vocal resemblance is nearly uncanny) but also in his admirable tendency to blend the sounds of Texas-style blues-rock with Memphis soul (and to dig occasionally into a bag of Jimi Hendrix tricks). Nagy claims to play "both kinds of music: rhythm AND blues," and that's a good summation of his style. On Fell Toward None he succeeds most completely when he rocks hardest ("Wishing Well," "Pack It Up") and when he rocks funkiest and/or most soulfully ("Let It Roll," the brilliant "Be with You"). He seldom stumbles, but when it happens it's generally because he fails to maintain a high-enough energy level; this happens most egregiously on "Still Means the World to Me," a fine song that bogs down irretrievably by the end of its five-minute length. ("Facebook Mama" also feels like it's struggling to get off the ground and never quite makes it.) But throughout the album both his voice and his guitar playing are a pleasure to hear, and it's a solid success overall. ~ Rick Anderson
