Born in Merrick, Long Island, educated at St. Bonaventure and Fordham Universities, jazz vocalist Greg Conlon resides in Jupiter, Florida. Retired from his career as a high school principal, he now devotes his time to pursuing and sharing a long-held passion of performing The Great American Songbook. Greg's own brand is "Swing-ology", a menu of performance options which highlight swing and ballad tunes of The Songbook.
He has collaborated artistically with nationally acclaimed jazz pianists Josh Condon and Ed Clute. Greg's rendition of East of the Sun, West of the Moon was featured on both Dick Robinson's internationally syndicated radio program American Standards by the Sea, and on Legends Radio 100.3. Greg is a regular guest performer at Double Roads Tavern's weekly jazz jam at the invitation of Rick Moore, acclaimed jazz pianist and founder of the Jupiter Jazz Society and at Lake Worth's monthly Jazz on J Street event, under the coordination of founder and flutist Blanche Williams.
His professional theater experience, his countless engagements as a jazz vocalist, and his performances at weddings and special events evidence Greg's talent for winning and engaging audiences. Focusing on swing tunes and ballads, Greg sustains an upbeat, romantic mood, paying close attention to melodies and emotionally insightful phrasing. His presentation of The Songbook's musical treasures discovers the essence of each song.
Greg's goal as a vocalist is to promote and preserve the rich heritage and the essential artistry within the lyrics and melodies of The Great American Songbook.
