Gregg Giuffria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gregg Giuffria (born 28 July 1955) was the keyboardist for heavy metal bands, Angel, and House of Lords, and arena rock band, Giuffria.

Giuffria was in Angel in the late '70s. After the band broke up in 1981, Giuffria put together his own band, Giuffria, with vocalist David Glen Eisley, guitarist Craig Goldy, bassist Chuck Wright, and drummer Alan Krigger, and achieved some success with their first album, and first single, "Call to Your Heart," which placed in the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. The band didn't last long, however, and fell apart after the failure of their next album in the late '80s.

Giuffria then put together another band called the House of Lords with the help of Kiss's Gene Simmons and signed to Simmons's label. They broke up in 1993. House of Lords has since reunited, but without Giuffria. Gregg has recently been working on a solo album with an expected release of late 2005 or early 2006.

Gregg was also the CEO of a Vegas company, Outland Development LLC, that designed and built gaming machines as well as designed theme park attractions.
