A song I wrote. The title is a play on the key of the song, which is indeed A Minor. I like to think the song is about a coal miner or something.

Gregory Wariner is a composer/multi-instrumentalist based out of Augusta, GA. He currently records tracks in his home studio.
Greg has been playing guitar for the better part of 8 years, and slowly learned many other instruments during that time. He composed his first piece of instrumental music when he was 15, and his first rock song was written when he was only 13 years old. He currently is exploring many genres, hoping to transcend all labels with his new music.
Beginning his adventure with musical groups when he was 13, Greg has played in many groups ranging from Metal to Jazz, Punk to Country, Alternative to New Age, you name it, Greg has probably played in it.
His current show is a one man band act, using many different effects, textures, and sounds, all being run through a Boss RC-50 Loop Station. "It's one of the best pieces of equipment I've ever owned," he said. "I can't imagine doing a show without it. It's the centerpiece of my whole rig."
Greg is looking for other musicians in the CSRA area to play with, and genres are of little importance to him. "Genres mean nothing to me, really", he says. "What I bring to the table is sure to fit any piece of music. And if it doesn't, I feel confident that I can quickly adapt to fit whatever you need".

Why this name?
It's my given name. Some of my fans call me "G-Dub", a play on my initials, GW.
Do you play live?
I play wherever I can; However, being a young musician (I'm only 20), has very much limited my venue selection.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it affects the music industry greatly, both negatively and positively. On the plus side, artists are gaining exposure like never before. On the down side, many of them are not compensated, or paid properly, for their efforts.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Sure, why not? Of course, that is all dependent on how much they feel they should participate in the artistic process. I would like to have the final say in all matters musically related.
Band History:
I've played in many bands, from alternative to punk, jazz to metal, country to mariachi.
Your influences?
Any musician who genuinely expresses the deepest emotion and passion they possess.
