Greg Trooper

Trooper’s recently released his debut album for Sugar Hill Records Floating. Each word he sings, every chord that the band plays, conveys more emotion than a landslide of adjectives let loose by less disciplined singer/ songwriters. In language more conversational than literary, addressing issues that are both timely and timeless, in songs forged through real-world gigs and fed by folk tradition, Floating achieves a kind of artless artfulness, and reflects a self-awareness that's rare anywhere in music today. Surely the album is his most ambitious release. Trooper first felt the lure of this approach back in Little Silver, New Jersey, where his tastes didn't necessarily jive with the local culture.
