Lead guitarist Greg Nagy, considered an exceptionally soulful and creative blues player, has shared the bill and stage with such luminaries as John Mayall, Taj Mahal, Macy Gray, G.E. Smith, Eddie Clearwater, Larry McCray, Ronnie Earl, Teddy Morgan, and W.C. Clark.
A strong vocalist as well, Nagy fronted his own bands in the '90s throughout the Midwest. As inspiring as that scene was, Greg moved back to Michigan a few years ago to join Root Doctor.
Nagy's writing and production skills have been immensely important to Root Doctor's growth. It was only with his prodding and commitment that the band went into the studio in 2005 to record Been A Long Time Coming (Big O, 2005), its first ever studio record.
AAJ Contributor David King spoke with Nagy about the process of driving Root Doctor from bar band to recording act, his own background, and more.
