Presenting Contrasting Compositional Situations.

Greg Lowe was born in Winnipeg Canada and began composing his own music immediately after picking up his brother’s guitar at age 10. Initially inspired by blues and rock musicians he eventually found jazz, and proceeded to Grant MacEwan College in Edmonton to learn the basics of jazz harmony. In 1985 on return from a two week stint studying in New York with guitarists John Scofield, John Abercrombie and Steve Kahn, Lowe put a call into Prakash John, leader of Toronto’s premier R&B band The Lincolns, and shortly after began four years of touring coast to coast with many of Toronto’s finest players.

Focusing on composition as much as guitar performance, Lowe’s body of work has grown to include large orchestra, chamber ensembles, theatre, television, dance, radio musicals and dramas. He has released seven CDs after returning to Winnipeg in 1990, all featuring original music in both electric and acoustic formats.
