September 4th 2011 Los Angeles I'm gonna be up in the Northwest this weekend playing with the incredible Storm Large! On Sept. 8th, I'll be in Seattle. Click here for more info and... on Sept. 10th, I'll be in my favorite place to be, Portland Oregon!  September 1st 2011 Los Angeles Everclear Tour Journals All artwork and rights thereof are retained by Greg Eklund   August 16th 2011 Los Angeles Everclear Tour Journal All artwork and rights thereof are retained by Greg Eklund     August 5th 2011 Los Angeles Here are some more Everclear tour journals... scroll down to see previous  All artwork and rights thereof are retained by Greg Eklund Here are some records I've been grooving on lately...   July 20th 2011 Los Angeles Just a few updates...I was honored to be asked (thanks Darice!) last week to play with a local LA band called "The Coals" at their outdoor gig at the "Grand "O'l Echo" in Silverlake. I was unable to get to rehearse at all with them prior so I just showed up and winged it. I gotta say it turned out great with smiles all around and an offer to join them at future shows. I was reallty excited because I have seen them several times before and really like their songs and Jason's voice. I'll keep you informed on upcoming shows in the LA area. Also, I had an idea of posting pages of my art journal/diary I kept the last 6 years of Everclear. I have played around with the idea of making a picture book out of them but for right now I was thinking of sharing them with you. Touring can become VERY mundane in the downtime between shows and so these journals were a way for me to be creative on planes, buses, cars, and rather drab hotel rooms. With my wife being an artist/painter, I would also try to hit any and all museums that might be in any given city, and would often return super jazzed and dive straight into my journal work. Please keep checking back as I will be changing these periodically. All artwork and rights thereof are retained by Greg Eklund.   July 1st Los Angeles Arrived home today from Australia after 45 combined hours of flying, a volcano in Chile blowing ash across the oceans that shut down the ENTIRE aviation industry for 2 days, 5 shows in three cities, three being an hour long cabaret piece, and two shows being that plus a second set of a rock show, and a country of the warmest people you will ever meet. I LOVE AUSTRALIA! I haven't been here since 1998 when Everclear last toured here but it still always surprises me with how much I always come away singing its praises. Our main reason for going was the Adelaide Cabaret Festival. We performed three shows in their main theatre and the response and reviews have been outstanding. Click the links below to read some. Adelaide #1 Adelaide #2 Adelaide #3 Melbourne show Thanks to everyone who made it possible. To my musical travel companions, who talent is only overshadowed by how much fun they are to travel with, ie. Storm Large, James Beaton and Scott Weddle, I say "Day Beers!"             June 4th Los Angeles Got back from rocking with Storm Large in San Francisco at the Red Devil Lounge. Friday its up to Portland for Storm's show at the Aladdin Theatre. Hope to see you there. Also a very big thanks to Cody Molica for these nice pics he took of me at the show.   March 23rd Los Angeles Please check out my friend Julie Cain's new revamped website and anticipated release of her new ep. "Picture Show." I played drums on her new tracks and am quite pleased with the results. My favorite is a song called Comfort Me in which the drums were recorded with just two mics and has some timpani. I believe it is one of my favorite drum tracks I've ever recorded. My favorite drums I record are always the understated ones that groove and contribute to the song. Sign up on her site to get show announcements so you can come say hi in person if you live in and around Los Angeles. March 15th 2011 NYC Tonight is our (Storm Large) first of two shows in NYC at Joe's Pub. Both Scotty and I have colds we've been nursing for a couple days now. Flying the red eye out from Portland doesn't seem to help any when you are sick, but we are ready to deliver the goods tonight and tomorrow. Apparently Steve Martin...yes that Steve Martin, is playing the show right before us at Joe's pub. Last night we had good food and good company at Storm's theatre producers house. Scotty and I were very pleasantly surprised to find out that she had some leftover whiskey from our Scotland trip last fall which we made the most of. Many stories were told and retold till we were crying with laughter. By the time Scotty and I were walking back to our NYC Hare Krishna lodging...yes that Hare Krishna, my throat hurt from laughing so hard! I believe its called a throat cramp? March 5th 2011 Portland Wow! what a night! Last night (we) Storm Large played with the Oregon Symphony at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall to a sold out house. Even though I get to sit onstage with her every night, I'm still amazed by her singing and ability to keep a 3000 seat venue spellbound all the while giving them the double bird. Yes, its true. While talking to a stagehand during intermission, I found out that she was the first person in the history of the Oregon Symphony to flip off the audience, and they loved her all the more for it! Much love to Storm and James Beaton for allowing me to be a part of their craziness. Much love to Scotty Weddle for always making wise and cracking jokes and sometimes actually getting around to playing guitar as well. Sparky, if you are reading this, thanks for the "wink wink nudge nudge" on the monitors. So good to see you again! VITA!!! Thanks for everything you do to make this all possible.

Happy birthday to her twin Soseh who has been with Ellie EVERY step of the way as well! Through thick and thin, they are the twins...xoxo Greg January 2nd 2011 Los Angeles Got back from Portland last night. I rocked in the New Year with Storm Large at the Alberta Rose Theatre. An incredible evening of music and friends. I feel so fortunate to be playing with musicians of this caliber and the fact that they are my friends just sweetens the deal. Thanks to Storm and James Beaton for allowing me to be a part of their last year of musical surprises. Last night, I gotta say I was completely blown away by Holcomb Waller who came out and sang a few songs with Storm. What an amazing talent and a sweetheart of a guy. I hope he and I can work together on something in the future. Thanks again to Davey Loprinzi who always houses and feeds me every time I turn up on his doorstep, as well as James and Joelle, who have the best bathtub with the hottest water in all of Portland! Happy 2011 everyone! May be it filled with peace love and happiness.          November 22nd Los Angeles
