Greg Artzner

singer, Magpie Music

Greg Artzner and his wife Terry Leonino are Magpie. An outstanding guitarist whose fingerstyle approach owes a lot to his heroes, guitar legends such as Reverend Gary Davis, Big Bill Broonzy, Nick Lucas, Phil Ochs, and Rolly Brown, Greg's playing is the solid basis of Magpie's sound. From the beginning Terry and Greg's interests in various musical styles have led them to embrace a musical rainbow, and with impressive proficiency in each different genre. From traditional, classic country, swing, and blues of the nineteen twenties and thirties, to contemporary songs written by themselves and others, Terry and Greg cover a lot of musical ground.
