Greg O'Haver at Lazy Daze

Kevin enjoyed sitting at Lazy Daze recently listening to a wonderful musician, Greg O'Haver. Greg and Kevin sort of knew each other but had never met. Greg graduated from Howe a few years before Kevin and so had met him via the Howe website. Unknown to Greg, Kevin also knew him through his wonderful wife Jeanne (McGill) O'Haver. Kevin had met Jeanne years ago at the Dry Dock restaurant through Mark Hancock and the band "Kara Company."

Greg currently plays solo and with a Christian group called "Crossover Road."

Greg opened with a song Kevin had only heard one other person play, "Deep River Blues." The song appears on Jorma Kaukonen's "Blue Country Heart," his Grammy nominated CD from 2003. Kevin learned "Deep River Blues" from Jorma during one of his visits to Fur Peace Ranch. Greg continued with a wonderful version of the Dirt Band's "American Dream."

Greg has a clean finger-style of playing and a deep, pleasant voice. He also has a wide range of songs to please most folkies and rockers. If you've never heard Greg or "Crossover Road" you should make a date to hear them. Visit their site at www.crossoverroad.com.
