Gregg Standridge Band
Gregg Standridge began playing drums when he was 14 and switched to mandolin after hearing the album Every Picture Tells a Story by Rod Stewart. He then picked up guitar with help from his friend Paul Hendrix. Hendrix showed him the basic chords and how to figure songs out by ear and Standridge began to play in old line country bands and rock bands in South Oklahoma City.
He then was granted the opportunity to study music at OCCC and USAO. He finished his formal education by earning a Masters Degree in Guitar Performance at OCU. After living in Los Angeles for one year Standridge moved back to the greater OKC area and then began writing and performing with the Norman based bands Inspector 12 and Doc and the Delivery Boys. After these 2 projects he began building his teaching studio which he still maintains today through McMichael Music. In 1995 he formed Stick People and recorded Sticks and Stones and then in 2002 He formed the Gregg Standridge Band and released Dreamhouse.
Southside Songs and Stories is the latest release from Gregg Standridge Band. These ten original cuts tell real life and fictional stories ranging from an Native American running from the U.S. Cavalry, "Blue Hat", to a mariners insane obsession with an unseen monster in a vast lake in "Smile Beneath the Waves".
The real heart of the recording comes from the introspective stories of Standridge's friends and family. The ballad "Rupert and Jim" pays homage to a pair of grandson's imaginary friends. "Story" tells of how his father would make up bedtime stories on the spot about what ever the boys wanted to hear. "Devil won't Dance" speaks of fighting personal demons, and the loss of his younger brother. "Do As Your Told" takes a poke at lip syncing and the music business in general. "Plea to Monet" is a beautiful tune that tells of a young lady who lives in a painting.
Southside Songs and Stories features these folks and their various instruments of destruction.
