Gary Green (born November 20, 1950 in Stroud Green, North London, England) is a British musician. During the 1970s, he was the guitarist for the progressive rock band Gentle Giant. Green was with the band from the debut album Gentle Giant all the way to the last album Civilian. Green's style was different from most of his peers, being a more "blues" based guitarist. Like his other band members, Green was also adept at other instruments, including mandolin and recorder among others.
Later on, he was a member of the band Mother Tongue.
In recent years, Green has been working with Billy Sherwood on a number of projects, including Back Against The Wall (2005)[1] and Return to the Dark Side of the Moon (2006).[2]
Green currently lives in the Chicago area in an old Victorian home with his wife Judy and a large collection of animals that have been rescued and now receive much love. He's expressed interest in getting more involved with playing again after having been inspired by other musicians he met at the latest gathering of Gentle Giant fans, who became friends through the Internet. This is a private gathering of friends with an interest in Gentle Giant, not a Gentle Giant convention. It takes place once a year in varying parts of the world. Often old members attend. New friends are welcome. Hangers-on and obsessive fans are not.
Gary Green's brother, Jeff Green, was a roadie for Soft Machine in the early 1970s and later played with Elton Dean.
Green is the only ex-member of Gentle Giant still actively playing and recording.
