One Note One World

Greg Dayton is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist whose music moves between electric and acoustic blues, classic rock, soul, and jazz. Recognized as a Great Blues Artist by the New York Blues Hall of Fame, he's spent three solo albums refining a sound built around a tight NYC band and a rotating cast of horn players, keys, and backing vocalists.

Off stage, his organization One Note One World puts live music to work for conservation-focused nonprofits — proof the songs are only half the story.
