Greg Hodapp currently hails from nowhere in particular, but is originally from Cincinnati, Ohio. Previously he lived for six years in Wisconsin\'s Chequamegon bay area. It was really there in the rich musicality and varied traditions of the north country that his interest and proficiency in appalachian and celtic music flourished. Greg is currently a one man band incorporating dual instrument playing (harmonica combos) and foot stomping sleigh bell rythym. He currently counts in his repetoire the mountain dulcimer, guitar, five string banjo, penny whistle, concertina, bodhran (Irish drum), the highland bagpipes, parlour pipes, and harmonica. The traditional music of the appalachian mountains, Great Lakes, and British Isles flow through and around Greg\'s tunes, songs and stories. Come have a listen, you will enjoy the unique humor and rich variety that characterizes his enjoyable performances.
