Greg Sover - HIS-STORY (2023)

Singer, Songwriter and guitar slinger, Greg Sover, is set to release his newest recording, HIS-STORY, on July 21st on Grounded Soul Records. The ten-song LP features eight blues, roots, and rock-tinged originals and Sover is joined by iconic Band of Gypsies bassist, Billy Cox, on Jimi Hendrix’s seminal “Manic Depression” and rarity, “Remember.” The album was recorded in Sover’s hometown of Philadelphia, co-produced by Sover and Jim Salamone, and includes bass player Kenny Aaronson (Bob Dylan, Rick Derringer, Billy Idol, Joan Jett, Hall & Oates) and drummer/podcast host David Uosikkinen (The Hooters). “It’s all about crossing these boundaries and bringing everyone together, whatever your race, religion or nationality,” Sover says of HIS-STORY.

HIS-STORY follows Sover’s acclaimed 2020 EP, The Parade, and takes its name from the album cover art which finds the songwriter with his red Stratocaster in front of a building on Jefferson Street in Nashville that prominently features the words, “Support HBCU” (Historically Black College or University) written on its side. Sover chose the spot as it was the site of a guitar battle Hendrix lost by default and it highlights his connection to both Billy Cox and the legendary musician.
