Darryl Gregory

One of the reasons that I admire Darryl Gregory I think, is because I'm a little bit envious.  Most of you who know me well, know that although I am very passionate about my own business - helping people through the muck and mire of the housing market - my first love has always been music.  Darryl has managed to capture the best of both worlds in that his love of music is also his livelihood.  

For his "day job", Darryl is a Middle School Music Teacher.  You gotta love teachers - especially music teachers. They not only pass their own musical knowledge to the next generation, they also somehow have learned to deal with the squeaks and toots of young musicians and not go absolutely nuts from it.

When not at School, you can usually find Darryl in his home-based studio -- BLUE CAVE STUDIOS in Sandy Hook, CT.  He could be working on any number of projects. Blue Cave is a project studio that caters to just about anyone who wants to record anything.  Singer-songwriters who want to produce a marketable CD of their music,  Songwriters who need demos, Voice over tracks and Background music for films and web projects just to name a few examples.

The cool thing about working with Darryl is that he doesn't just "rent time" - he works closely with clients providing whatever level of technical expertise and personal support they may need to produce the best possible project.

It's not just musicians who need recording assistance, though.  Keeping pace with today's businesses, another of Darryl's projects is  EASY BUSINESS PODCAST.  Here Darryl helps bloggers and Internet business folks with the creation, production and implementation of podcasts to help them get their own messages into cyberspace.

Speaking of podcasts, as an avid supporter of the Indie music scene, Darryl produces his own series of podcasted interviews he does with a wide array of independent musicians from around the world.  He hosts these on the website UNSIGNED UNDERGROUND.  the 26th Episode was just added this past week - an interview with Singer/Songwriter John Batdorf. 

For a little peek into Darryl's thoughts on things, check out his Blog SLOW DRIP FROM AN EMPTY HEAD.  You can also follow him on Twitter @darrylgregory which is actually where he and I first met.  For the ultimate experience of all things Darryl though, you need to listen to his own music.   You can find the hub at DarrylGregory.com

For live performances check his site and you'll find a list of local gigs and you'll have a link to his CDs.    In addition Darryl is available for House Concerts - a venue that has been growing in popularity throughout the indie music world.  It's a great way to hear some wonderful music and share it with your friends.

Check him out - it's worth the time.
