John Gregorius: News

I have the pleasure of playing a live backdrop for the Stations of the Cross at St. John's Episcopal Church in Rancho Santa Margarita at 7:00. Then on Thursday April 1st I'll play some of the music from Stations at Crossroads in Corona. It's great to have my ambient music used for the purpose of deepening ones experience of Jesus during this week leading to Easter.

The result of the Echoes 20th Anniversary Listener Poll is Heaven and Earth #62 out of 200 CDs picked over the last twenty years. The best thing is Heaven and Earth is nominated along with some of my favorite artists. Very cool!

I was given the opportunity to record a "live" concert for Echoes at Broken Wave Studios in Glendale. Joining me was Mitch Ross on Drums and Shannon Kennedy on the EWI (electronic wind instrument). The crew at the studio treated us with great hospitality. It is also a pleasure to get to know the "father" of the Echoes program, John Diliberto. It's rare to find someone in this business that simply cares about music and the artist's who create it.

I will be playing 30 minutes of Heaven and Earth and new material on Wednesday, June 24th at 4:00. Mitch Ross will join me on percussion and Shannon Kenedy will add woodwinds. This is a great chance to promote contemplative music to the church!

Heaven and Earth is rated number 9 out of one hundred for airplay of new age, world and internet radio.

Echoes is a syndicated station which plays ambient music for a large audience. They have also chosen H&E as the number 16 staff favorite of 2008.

I recently signed with O3E (Spotted Peccary) for three recordings; one of which will be Heaven and Earth.

Heaven & Earth is now available on itunes. Go to itunes and search for john gregorius.

My new cd Heaven & Earth is finished. I'm pleased to have enlisted the help of Mitch Ross for drums and added production. Also, Leo Song added fretless bass. Their amazing talent brought this recording to a higher level. Heaven & Earth has acoustic solo guitar and electric ambient loop based songs, like Under the Ice, but has more melodic components. I pray this music is a gift to you and brings you closer to our Creator.
