WELCOME TO STEVEN GREEN’S SWINGREEN WEBSITE: www.swingreen.net
I Hey there, this is Steven Green. I perform vocals as Swingreen accompanied by custom musical backing tracks (the virtual band) . Hear classic songs of great swing, jazz and pop writers and artists past and present. While I have my own style, I do try to capture the spirit of the original artists' style.
Come to where I'm performing (see Events) and relax and listen, or dance or just socialize with someone special or friends and hear Swingreen sing.
Also below you will find my Demo Songs. Hope you can take a few minutes to hear some of them. For my demos and my live performances I customize the backing tracks as to the song’s key, length and structure and in a few cases, as noted, I dub in my own back up singing for harmonies, recording each vocal track separately and in some cases add my own drums.
CURRENT FEATURED DEMOS: Black Velvet in the style of Alannah Myles, Morningside in the style of Neil Diamond and Red Red Wine in the style of Neil Diamond & UB40.
Black Velvet was written for Myles by her boyfriend about Elvis whose portrait was often painted on black velvet, and who used a hair dye named Black Velvet. It was inspired on a bus full of Elvis fans riding to Memphis attending the 10th anniversary vigil at Graceland, in 1987.
Neil Diamond's Morningside appears on his Moods album, 1972. A touching and beautiful song. He wrote it thinking of his grandparents and an old handmade table he saw, inscribed by its maker to the craftsman’s children.
Red Red Wine was written by Neil Diamond in '67 and appears live on his great 1972 Hot August Night album. In 1983 it was recorded by UB40 in a reggae version and became a #1 smash.
Diamond often played the reggae version in concerts thereafter. My version is a medley of both.
**SPECIAL ADDITION**: As Good As I Ever Was, sung by my 16 year old grandson, Jimmy in the style of Toby Keith.
