Grego Anderson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grego Anderson (born 1967) is a blues folk artist who lives in Austin, Texas. Anderson was recognized by the United States Congress in 2003 as one of two official visual artists for the Year of the Blues. His work is best described as "rustic;" he paints only portraits of blues musicians on wooden planks.

His artwork has been exhibited in galleries from Boston, Massachusetts to San Diego, California, and is featured in the Mojohand online gallery.

Anderson appears in the Lightnin' Hopkins' documentary film, Where Lightnin’ Strikes—the Lightnin’ Hopkins story, and on the Veria television program, The Art of Living.

Grego is also a blues musician, playing lap steel guitar with 'The Freight Train Troubadours' in Texas, and as a sideman throughout the Americas.
