"(Steve) Gregory...play(s) bass, though that's sort of like saying Hendrix...played guitar"
Steve Gregory is a bassist and experimental musician from upstate NY. In addition to his solo work and his work with Wet Shoelaces, he is a bassist with Static Port, a potent blend of jazz, funk, progressive rock, and experimental music. He was a longtime member of Wailing Bones, Niki Lee's Full Toy Explosion, and Blackcat Elliot, and has filled in for such artists as Great Day For Up and Paddy Kilrain.
