Gregg Inhofer, after four decades in the Twin Cites rock scene, has released his debut solo CD, Inside. Inside was recorded live in 2006, featuring Gregg on vocals and piano performing all original material. Gregg is best known for playing the Hammond organ on half of the Bob Dylan masterpiece Blood on the Tracks. Gregg has been playing keyboards, bass and guitar in Twin Cities bands since the early 1970s, including with acclaimed groups like Pepper Fog and This Oneness, and toured with a young Australian singer named Olivia Newton-John. On Inside, Gregg finally steps into the spotlight with his powerful, R&B-tinged vocals and captivating musicianship. “After four decades on the local scene and noteworthy appearances with Bob Dylan and Olivia Newton-John, you’d think Gregg Inhofer would be out of surprises. But the keyboard hero . . . emerges as a compelling singer / songwriter on the CD Inside. Inhofer’s voice is a revelation, as are the funny, intimate autobiographical tunes, reminiscent of Joe Jackson at his best.”

I have shared this CD with so many people. The clarity and depth reflect a spiritual journey that speaks truth. Not in a religious way whatsoever...but in finding healing while navigating through life. Gregg is clearly talented. Voice, piano, lyrics are all top notch.
