Greg Ginn began in 1976 and hasn't stopped since! Over the past two years, Ginn has performed 200+ dates while steadily touring across the US promoting both groups and last year’s CD release of JAMBANG’s “Connecting” and Greg Ginn & The Taylor Texas Corrugators’ “The Goof Off Experts.” Tracks can be heard and are available for FREE download at www.gregginn.com.
Greg Ginn & The Taylor Texas Corrugators Biography: Greg Ginn & the Taylor Texas Corrugators are an instrumental group that incorporate many styles into their music. Rock/jazz/country/blues/latin/psychedelia all find their way into the mix. On the two studio recordings (Bent Edge released in 2007, and Goof Off Experts released in 2008), Greg plays all of the instruments except drums. Live, the Corrugators are quite a different proposition. Playing about 150 shows (most of them opening for JAMBANG) in the last year, the group played 100% improvised sets. On this tour, look for the Corrugators to introduce some sound loops into a portion of the set at times. For the tours Ginn is playing bass/guitar and has enlisted JAMBANG member Gary Piazza on guitar, and New Moonson’s Sean Hutchinson on drums.

"The sound of guitarist Greg Ginn, for those who have heard him, is instantly familiar. That is, unless you can find another guitarist who manages to meld a nasty, gutbucket blues tone with rock edge and jazz thoughtfulness. We won’t wait while you look. "
- Kevin Williams, Chicago Tribune (Mar 27, 2009)
"Ginn toured the U.S. relentlessly, forging the Oregon Trail of DIY, a coast-to-coast network that artists still rely upon today."
- Austin Powell, Best Of Austin (Jul 11, 2008)
"Lovers of music in general can appreciate seeing musicians experiment with a medium, and that is exactly what Ginn has always skillfully done with the lawless guitar style he's known for."
- Michael J. Foster, Berkshire Eagle (Sep 10, 2008)
"Jambang and the Texas Corrugators for an evening filled with the sultry sound of quality jam band tunes."
- Josh Hogan, MyDentonMusic (Mar 03, 2009)
"Ginn has cranked out a rollicking twang that seems aptly suited to an aging rocker who refuses to conform. "
- Anna Paige, Billings Event Planner (Apr 01, 2009)
"Greg Ginn is complicated — and misunderstood..."
- Ryan Ritchie, LA Weekly (Jul 01, 2008)
"When most people think of Greg Ginn, bands like The Grateful Dead, Disco Biscuits or Eoto aren’t necessarily the first things that come to mind..."
- Daily Gazette in Albany (Apr 06, 2009)
"Jambang’s Connecting is an atmospheric journey through multiple melodic layers that deviate from everything Ginn has released in his career."
- Ryan Ritchie, LA WEEKLY (Jul 01, 2008)
"Ginn shows little or no interest in riding the gravy train of the nostalgia circuit."
- Seth Graves, Nashville Arts (Sep 18, 2009)
