GREG FORESMAN DELIVERS ECLECTIC SET OF TUNES ON KODIAK

One of Most Sought After Nashville Guitar Players Showcases Songwriting Skills on Fourth Solo Album

Nashville, TN— Greg Foresman is bolder and more free-spirited these days than ever before, walking down a path that is both deeply spiritual and grounded in humanity. On his latest album, Kodiak, (released to retail and digitally May 19) Foresman has delivered songs about searching, getting close to, and sometimes finding the answers to life’s toughest questions. Kodiak is a reflection of Foreman’s thirty-plus years of traveling down what he calls a “road of hard knocks.” And he always travels that road with a guitar strapped firmly around his neck.

In fact, in his hometown of Nashville, Foresman is known as a guitar virtuoso. His current gig is as Martina McBride’s touring guitarist, and he is also a session ace that is very much in demand in a city littered with players.

For Foresman, Kodiak is his fourth solo album since his former band, The Hammerheads, split up in the mid-90’s, and he continues his penchant for being stylistically eclectic. His music runs the gamut from barn-burning rockers such as “Soul Survivor” to sinewy funk classics like “I Know Better,” and ultimately winding up at the beautiful acoustic guitar ditty, “Big Sky Country.” Lyrically, the themes on Kodiak range from the advantages of living simply (“Something I Can Use” and “Backwoods Country Home”) to an attempted understanding of what goes on inside the head of a mass murderer (“Suicide Bomber”).
