Greg In Good Company is a five-member L.A. band fronted by Greg Gilman, who’s something of a Renaissance man: songwriter, screenwriter and journalist. GIGC’s new single “Home” has the heart and power of Bruce Springsteen’s best work and precedes their second album Quiet Days and Quiet Nights, which drops on June 9.
“The song has been a long time coming,” says Gilman. “It took me a year and a half to write, with the lyrics finally coming to mind after watching the documentary “I Am Another You”, inspiring me to write a song about mental illness from two different perspectives: a young drifter running from the voices in his mind, and his mother back at his childhood home, wondering if her son is even still alive. Each verse is divided between these characters.”
GIGC’s music is American to the core. Last year’s “Dedication Song” feels like a more serious version of John Prine’s “When I Get To Heaven”. And speaking of paradise, Gilman’s “Heaven Is A Moment Here With You” has Dylan-esque energy.
