Press

“The ALASTAIR GREENE BAND has achieved an elusive result, waxing a blues-rock album that holds appeal for traditionalists.”

— Tom Hyslop, Blues Revue Magazine

"I've known Alastair since we were kids and he's always been a ripping guitarist. Glad to hear he's still going strong."

— Chris Shiflett - Foo Fighters

“Those who prefer their blues amped up should be deafeningly pleased. Simply, he goes for it. Greene has a strong, baritone voice that often distorts his mic as the song reaches an apex.”

— Matt Collar, All Music Guide

“ "Alastair should be out playing with the biggest bands in the world. I believe it's just a matter of time." ”

— Alan Parsons

“Greene is a wonderful blues/rock player. It's his guitar playing and writing that carry the day.”

— Vintage Guitar Magazine

"Alastair is a guitarist I enjoy listening to whose style includes the fire of Texas Blues"

— Seymour Duncan

“Greene sings with spirit and tells it like it is while his electric guitar adds a stimulating sizzle that punctuates hard. ”

— Jim Santella, Southland Blues Magazine

"I really like it when you do your thing!!!"

— Ike Turner

“ Whether it’s the Elmore James type stomper, “Walking In Circles”, or the ZZ Top-ish boogie, “Cut You Loose”, Greene’s leads are either impeccably clean or eminently dirty, whatever is called for. There’s great band energy here too, captured with a live club feel. Greene, who also works with the likes of Alan Parsons, is a fiery performer who’s perfect meat for a label such as Blind Pig Records.”

— Music Connection Magazine

"You definitely have talent,..I'm hearing you as being a strong player with a good blues/rock feel and some real chops."

— - Bruce Iglauer - Alligator Records

“At least once a year an album crosses my path that simply blows me away. For 2011, Alastair Greene's "Through The Rain" was that album. ”

— John Vermilyea, Blues Underground Network

"Alastair is one of the best young rocking blues guitarists I've heard in a long time."

— James Shane (guitarist- Canned Heat)

“ “When it comes to backing bluesmen, especially those who play harmonica, most guitar players who rock as hard as Alastair Greene sound like sox on a rooster looks!!! I don’t mean to step on any toes here, but that’s the truth. However, musicianship and respect for the blues are what make the difference. This young man, Alastair Greene, immediately hears what you’re saying, knows what’s legal and what to leave out. Trust me, only a few have that particular talent today; everybody should watch this guy!””

— James Harman

Questions

Ask Alastair Greene anything...

Q: Hello Alastair... what chorus pedal do you use? Thanks!

A: Hey there, thanks for the question. I use a Chorus pedal with the Alan Parsons Live Project and it's the MRX M-148. It's the little yellow pedal with one knob. Simple and easy to use! I don't use a chorus with my band although on occasion I've used a Dunlop Univibe or Rotovibe which is a similar effect. -AG
