Greg Meisner
to Play in Apalachin
![]() Former Apalachin resident Greg Meisner will play at the Terrace Tavern on Route 434 in Apalachin on June 6. With an eclectic mix of Traditional Irish, Folk and Blues music, Greg 'The Irish Pirate' Meisner's Acoustic one man show is a must see for anyone who enjoys music. Greg's soulful vocals and his quirky sense of humor, mixed with his expressive guitar playing has captivated audiences up and down the East Coast. You'll laugh, you might just cry and your sure to get up and dance, so check out Greg's act at the Terrace Tavern in Apalachin. Greg learned to play the guitar at age 10, and from the late 1970s to 2004, he performed with dozens of bands as a lead singer and lead/rhythm guitarist. But 27 years of Rock and Roll had taken its toll, and Greg traded his "bad habits" for a "real" job in Maryland. "Three years of sitting behind a desk and fighting the Annapolis/Bay Ridge traffic during my 120 mile daily commute had left me unfulfilled and I yearned for the happier days and personal satisfaction that playing music professionally offered," Greg explains in his bio on his web site, www.gotmize.com "The day before my 50th birthday I quit my day job, I just walked out. Driving home that morning, around 9:30am I decided to become one of those Acoustic playing 'solo guys'. Since I'd barely touched an acoustic guitar in nearly 30 years, I spent the next few months in extreme pain. I had to re-learn and adjust everything I knew about the guitar and mold it into my new acoustic style. Well, the time, effort and pain have paid off for me, and I'm looking at my music with a new set of eyes and a brand new feel. Being a musician is once again my life's desire!"
