Greer grew up in Azle, Texas before moving to Nashville, Tennessee to attend Belmont University. After graduating in 2004 with a Bachelor of Music (BM), he worked at Michael W. Smith’s Rocketown Records before beginning his own singer-songwriter artist career in 2009 with the release of Open Book.[1]
Greer’s debut album was a critical success, earning 4 out of 5 stars from Christianity Today which called Open Book, “an intensely reflective record that digs deep,”[2] and 5 out of 5 stars from The Christian Manifesto, which said, “Greer writes with a soul-bearing honesty refreshing to hear in an industry where cliché after cliché comes all too often. Open Book is a masterpiece.”[3] Features in other high-profile national outlets like CCM Magazine[4] and Christian Musician followed. He was also recently featured as a worship leader for Centrifuge’s Centrikid national camps in 2011.[1]
Greer will release his second album, Angel Band: The Hymn Sessions in January 2012. The recording features vintage hymns in an Americana style with a line-up of special guests like Ron Block of Alison Krauss & Union Station, Cindy Morgan, Ginny Owens, Sonya Isaacs, Marc Scibilia, Sandra McCracken, Julie Lee and The McCrary Sisters.[1] He has released a playlist of "Behind the Scenes" videos with select guest artists to help promote Angel Band.[5]
Greer is also known for his published commentaries, feature articles and music reviews in national publications like Christianity Today and ParentLife.[1]
