ABOUT
A native of South Florida, Gregg soaked up the influence of the Miami music scene as a youth and quickly progressed from devout music lover to professional jazz guitarist. In college, Gregg studied with Charlie Haden, Pat Metheny, Roscoe Mitchell, and Leo Smith while at the University of Miami and CalArts. He eventually landed in New York City where he worked with Jazz titans like Jim Hall, George Garzone, Richie Beirach, and Arnie Lawrence.
Gregg got a call from the management of Calypso legend Harry Belafonte and worked with Harry over the course of the next five years. Together with a highly experienced and multi-cultural band, Gregg and Harry traveled extensively throughout the United States, Canada, the Caribbean Islands, and Europe.
Gregg's commercial music production company, Hidden Tiger Music, creates spots for brands like Mercedes, Lipton, YSL, Nescafe, McDonalds, Ford, and many others, often working in collaboration with many of New York's most prestigious music houses.
Gregg's music can also be heard on television shows, major motion pictures, and websites including Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations, Masters of Reception, Zoolander, Rick, Accepted, MTV's Gamekillers and "Jones New York.” Gregg is the composer of the theme for 'The Chew', seen nationally on ABC, 5 days a week.

Gregg Fine is a sensitive guitarist who can adapt to different playing styles. Aside from accompanying singers with a fine touch and good harmonic sense, he has the technique to lay down solid single runs or chordal solos.

I've worked with Gregg Fine many times in all kinds of groups and he is definitely a guitarist of extraordinary ability and musicality. He's one of those players who has all the technique in the world but doesn't need to prove it but when it's time...watch out! Playing with Gregg is always something to look forward to, he's a true professional!!
