GREG IN GOOD COMPANY is rock ‘n’ roll full of heart and soul, led by modern-day troubadour Greg Gilman — a fiercely independent spirit who has made a name for himself in the Southern California music scene through his own critically acclaimed performances, as well as constantly providing performance opportunities for other artists through Writers ‘Round: Los Angeles.
“The songs are written for you to think, reflect and question. And that, is a very good thing,” OnStage Magazine wrote after listening to GIGC’s debut LP, American Way, a 2018 record Impose Magazine described as “a stirring, heartfelt experience.”
”GIGC’s music is American to the core,” wrote Beats Per Minute while reviewing 2023 single HOME, which the music blog praised for having “the heart and power of Bruce Springsteen’s best work.” It’s among the 10 tracks on the band’s latest album Quiet Days and Quiet Nights — an LP six years in the making — also featuring previous singles “(Heaven Is) A Moment Here with You,” “Just a Sunset” and “Mulholland at Midnight,” which Nashville music blog Underground Music Collective hailed as “a masterpiece.”
Cinematic melodies paired with heartfelt lyrics and irresistible harmonies have become hallmarks of the band’s unique sound — a mix of alternative rock, folk, country, pop and soul — topped off by Greg’s dynamic and raspy vocals, also drawing comparisons to Marcus Mumford, The Lumineers, and John Mellencamp. No Depression complimented GIGC’s first album for creating “truly powerful and cathartic vibes,” mixing “the the guttural soul musings of Ray LaMontagne with the jubilant psychedelic folk vibes of Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeroes.”
After 2019 single “Monster’s Lair” spent six months straight in regular rotation on one of L.A.’s most beloved adult alternative rock stations, 88.5 FM The SoCal Sound, GIGC slowly began recording and releasing more singles, toured the country, and was invited to perform at one of Montana’s largest music festivals the Red Ants Pants Music Festival as well as the 2023 NAMM show in Anaheim, CA.
Additionally, Greg has been performing alongside Grammy winners for years as part of acclaimed artist collective Flight of Voices, and regularly hosts the best singer-songwriters from the LA music scene and beyond at WR:LA — the city’s only weekly Nashville-style songwriter round showcase, which has inspired artists to launch affiliated chapters in San Diego, Orange County, Knoxville and New Jersey, working toward the goal of becoming a national non-profit organization that builds, serves and connects independent music communities.

“Just a Sunset is a bright and carefree acoustic romp with Latin jazz rhythms and glorious, zen-like vocal harmonies. You won’t have to be on a beach or in the mountains to find refuge through this one. It may even help you discover the true peace that lies within.” — Underground Music Collective
“Greg Gilman of Greg in Good Company spent most of 2020 going inward, using the pandemic solitude as a rare opportunity to slow down in the shadow of Los Angeles’ bright lights.
Now, he has emerged with his first single of 2021 — and it captures the very essence of one of LA’s most captivating roadways….
We have to say, Gilman nailed it. An impassioned and dynamic rock and roll ballad, Mulholland at Midnight illustrates the glow of the city’s bright lights, viewed wistfully from a distance as they stretch further into the rear view.
Get in your car, go for a drive, and turn this one all the way up, folks.”

"These are some of the most urgent topical songs I’ve heard in a good while, produced in the spirit of Bruce Springsteen, The Black Keys, and Edward Sharpe.
The timely ten-track record is a stirring, heartfelt experience as the band examine themes from the anxiety-inducing state of America right now to modern, social-media influenced romance. At the core of American Way is a lot of love, and Greg in Good Company extend that to you, dear listener, wherever you may be and wherever you may be going." — Impose Magazine
“The songs are written for you to think, reflect and question. And that, is a very good thing. ... ‘American Way’ travels through several genres as you listen track by track. With a strong indie-alternative flavor, its sound is refreshingly light as it balances against weighty topics. Overall, it’s fast and fun and ends with a song called called ‘Love.’ A total 180 from the title song, so perhaps there is hope for us after all. The album ends with the line, ‘Because love is all that matters in the end.’ How can you argue with that?” — OnStage Magazine
"A snappy statement on the status quo you can rock to… Greg in Good Company’s 'American Way' makes for lively listening. ... Dynamic enough to satisfy, yet self-aware enough to center itself. In 'American Way,' rock is on the menu, but it’s paired with poignancy as well – lamenting the sad facts of modern life with a touch of righteous revolt thrown in for good measure.
If you’re ready for rock with a dose of depth, then have a listen. You’re likely to like this." — The Odd Nugget
