The Story
1
Greg Piccolo's musical journey began in Westerly, Rhode Island, where, at just 13 years old, he formed his first band. The band gained a strong New England following with Greg eventually catching the attention of Duke Robillard, founder of the legendary blues band, Roomful of Blues. During his 25 year tenure Greg helped solidify the group's signature sound and status as one of the premier blues bands in the world, touring extensively and recording numerous albums.
In 1994, he launched his own band, Heavy Juice, and has built a reputation for high-energy, spontaneous live performances that blend blues, rock & roll, and rhythm & blues. Known for his 'less is more' approach, Piccolo plays with purpose and focus, making every note and space count. His ability to creatively combine influences from iconic saxophonists such as Illinois Jacquet, Lester Young, Ben Webster, and Red Prysock have helped define his own distinctive sound. On guitar he is drawn to the style of New Orleans's Earl King.
Piccolo has been nominated multiple times for Blues Music Awards by the Memphis based Blues Foundation and has been inducted into the New England Music Hall of Fame. Over the years, he has shared the stage and the recording studio with a diverse array of musical legends, including Pat Benatar, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmie Vaughan (including a multi-year stint with the 'Tilt-A-Whirl' Band), Eric Clapton, Big Joe Turner, and Eddie 'Cleanhead' Vinson, among many others.
Greg Piccolo's career reflects not only his deep love for the music but also his ability to stay relevant across decades. His commitment to exploring new sounds while honoring the past is his signature.
