“Really great acoustic fingerstyle stuff here. I particularly dig the first song, ‘One Step Closer,’ which is somewhat reminiscent (in vibe) of the late, great Elliott Smith. Good to hear this great singer/plucker (Greg Baird) is getting more into writing! Keep riding this wave of inspiration, man! You're churning out some fabulous stuff :)”

“Yeah! Really really like this! ‘One Step Closer’ is a great song. Guitar and vocals both sound brilliant, and work together. I really like the bits of acoustic guitar towards the end of the song. ‘Sunshine in My Garden’ has lots of energy and I love the way the vocals go for it. It's nice and punchy, short but v. sweet. Good stuff! I'm looking forward to hearing more. You mention in your biog that you're considering going out and playing live. Well, I think you definitely should! ”

My name is Greg Baird. I'm 34, a computer technician married with two beautiful girls. I have been playing Guitar since i was 12 and writing since I was 15 I suppose. I don't play professionally but I'm starting to write some nice songs at the moment (I think we all like our latest stuff best) and have been wondering if I should take a plunge and start performing. I love finding the beauty and richness in acoustic guitar sounds and to mix in some words that mean something.

I'm from a Town called Coffs Harbour on the east coast of in Australia. I have been having a prolific period of song writing over the last two months having penned about a dozen songs. The inspiration has come from my dad giving me his old Washburn and I just can't put it down!
