Alastair Greene started playing guitar at age 15. Originally inspired by Hard Rock guitarists such as Jimmy Page, Jake E Lee, and Eddie Van Halen, his life and musical course was altered when a friend loaned him B.B. King’s ‘Live At The Regal’, Buddy Guy’s ‘A Man and the Blues, and Stevie Ray Vaughan’s ‘Couldn’t Stand The Weather’. Alastair attended the Berklee College of music from 90-’92 and has since been performing and recording around Southern California since the early 90s. His playing can be heard on his own CDs as well as recordings by Alan Parsons (Alan’s 2004 release ‘A Valid Path’), drum legend Aynsley Dunbar, Mitch Kashmar (Delta Groove recording artist), Bad Astronaut, world renowned Blues guitarist Frank Goldwasser, as well as a number of CDs by many independent artists.

" If you long for the rock of the early-mid '70s, when it was dominated by players influenced by the blues, this one's for you."
Vintage Guitar Magazine
"If you are starved for '70s era influenced hard rock blues a'la Allman Brothers or Stevie Ray Vaughan you would do well to check out guitarist/vocalist Alastair Greene's debut CD A Little Wiser. Greene displays a monstrous ability for full-on blues rock anthems. While some blues purists will no doubt chafe at his distorted Gibson bombast, those who prefer their blues amped up should be deafeningly pleased."-AMG MUSIC GUIDE

'A Little Wiser' is one of the best blues/rock albums I've ever heard."-Martin Popoff, Southern Rock Review
