Greg Squirrel,
the owner and DJ/KJ extraordinaire, has long had a love for music
dating back to his high school band days playing the trumpet.
As an adult,
Greg's trumpet expertise serves him well.
As a member
of the Cherokee Nation Color Guard, he is often called upon to play
Taps at the funerals of our fallen warriors as well as at other
ceremonies.
Greg is also
a member of Bugles
Across America . This fine volunteer organization was founded
in 2000 by Tom Day. The mission of this organization is to provide
buglers to play Taps at the funerals of our fallen warriors. They
now have over 5,000 volunteer buglers with members in all 50 states
as well as overseas.
Over Greg's
lengthy music career, he has opened for many well-known performers
including:
- Razzy
Bailey
- Billy
Hoffman
- Joe
Stampley
Greg's music
career resume includes gigs as on-air radio personality at several
stations.
In Greg's,
ahem, shall we say "younger" days, he performed in several
talent showcases in Nashville winning a recording session at Silver
Wing Records of Nashville and an invitation to perform on Nashville
Revue. He also performed at Gilley's on Music Row during Fanfare
Week.
During
their very early music careers, Greg also had the pleasure of working
with a very sweet young lady by the name of Carrie Underwood. YES!
That Carrie Underwood. I tell you! They could perform duets so beautifully
it would bring a tear to your eye!
Greg has performed
live at many venues in his native Northwest Arkansas and these days
he still finds time to perform live at annual fairs and festivals
across the country. Greg's fine voice is also sought after to sing
the National Anthem at various sporting events.
If you are
a sports fan you may have heard Greg's voice as announcer at various
football and baseball games. He is also the ring announcer for pro
wrestling, boxing and mixed martial arts/cage fighting events.
Greg's extensive
experience in various aspects of the music business serves him well
at Cherokee Entertainment.
