Gregg Hill never thought of himself as a performer until he moved to New Orleans. Inspired by the artists who call the Big Easy home, he honed his skills while forging relationships with those artists. The singer, guitarist and pianist recruited two of the city’s finest — bassist/vocalist Roland Guerin and drummer Doug Belotte — as the rhythm section for his latest album, Bayou St. John, named for the region that connects Lake Pontchartrain to the Mississippi River. It’s also the place where Hill wrote most of the album’s eight tracks. Summer Woods is a striking musical up-and-comer with a refreshingly straightforward and classic approach to the singer-songwriter genre, colored with her irresistibly quirky way of telling stories and sharing messages of relentless optimism. Hailing from the small suburb of Chino Hills, she is a recent graduate of Los Angeles College of Music. She has a wonderful video worth checking out of a song called “Pasadena.”
