About the Band:Hailing from southeast Massachusetts, Greg Loftus held his first guitar at 12 years old and dove head-first into writing songs. He spent his adolescence playing in punk bands, but Greg's sound eventually matured towards many alt-country groups with punk-rock roots like Drive-By Truckers, Lucero, and Drag the River. During the fall of 2007, Greg was writing country-tinged acoustic songs while living in Providence, RI. There, he was immersed in and inspired by the DIY folk scene watching local artists like Deer Tick, Brown Bird, and Joe Fletcher and the Wrong Reasons. This is when he was exposed to the songwriting chops of traveling troubadours like Townes Van Zant, John Prine, and Steve Earle.In 2008 he released his self-produced debut album “No Taking Prisoners Tonight” on the West Virginia-based independent label Big Bullet Records. During the next few years, Greg toured the east coast and parts of the Appalachian south while based out of Boston, MA. He started booking paying gigs and more importantly, benefited from the kinship of fellow songwriters. Greg played every show he could, self-released a couple more EP’s, and began building a local following. When the Boston music scene grew repetitive, Greg sought greener pastures and broader horizons. In 2011, he found what he was looking for in Austin, TX. He packed up his things and moved to where the music scene matched his pace. There he spent the next six years playing in bands and honing his songwriting skills. In Austin, he formed the alt-country outfit, Carpetbagger, with core members Cody Brown on guitar and Kevin McCann on bass. Carpetbagger shared the stage with many of their admired heavyweights like Mike Cooley of Drive-By Truckers, Mike and the Moonpies, Possessed by Paul James and Two Cow Garage. The long days and longer nights started to take their toll so Greg put his music career on hold. He moved back home to Cape Cod, MA, in 2017 and started his custom furniture and woodworking business: Narrowland Woodworks and Design. During the coronavirus pandemic, Greg started writing music again. He released the album: “The Soft Sound of Sundown: Carpetbagger Years (2011-2015)”; a collection of unreleased songs and staples at Greg’s shows, with songs such as ‘American Bruises’ and ‘Highway 59’. In December of 2020, working with Underground Recording in Bourne, MA, he recorded his first full-length album in 5 years. Be on the lookout. His new album “Western Medicine” is set to release in the fall of 2021. REFUND POLICY: No refunds. Tickets are not refundable UNLESS the event is CANCELLED by Cape Cod Beer.
