About the Band

From Johnny Cash to Morgan Wallen — and everything in between.

The band is a six-piece group out of New York’s Capital District that plays the songs people actually want to hear—from ’50s blues and ’60s soul to classic rock, country, pop, rockabilly, and today’s hits. One set you’re singing along to Johnny Cash, the next you’re dancing to Springsteen, and before the night’s over we’ve thrown in some Stray Cats, Queen, and Morgan Wallen for good measure.


What sets us apart is the mix—solid harmonies, guitar-driven jams, and a setlist that moves between genres without missing a beat. We don’t just play covers; we put energy and soul into every song and keep crowds on their feet all night. We also write and record our own music, including our original track “Don’t Need Much,” available on Spotify.

Perfect for any occasion

Bars & Restaurants Weddings Graduations Retirement Parties Holiday Parties Civic Events Corporate Functions Fairs & Festivals Private Events Celebrations

What People Are Saying

Don’t take our word for it

From the first song to the last, they keep the crowd entertained, get people out on the dance floor, and create an atmosphere that makes everyone feel like part of the show. Their professionalism, versatility, and genuine love of music shine through in every performance. If you’re looking for great music and a band that knows how to keep the good times rolling, I highly recommend the Greg Collins Band!
