Gregory Markel's live shows are known as hit or miss events with the "hits" resulting in a profound connection and as Music Connection wrote, "an almost spiritual experience."

Markel's soulful and explosive vocals have been compared by the press to
some of the greatest singers of our time including Bono , Jeff Buckley
and Robert Plant .

Principal writer of of the songs " Strong As I Am ", a child's message to his parents, and " Ghost Beside My Bed ", based on an actual event, Markel's music has been heard the world over via radio, television and DVD. "Strong As I Am" first charted within The BBC Top 20
and was then chosen personally by director Michael Mann for his cult classic
"Manhunter." The song's message of child/parent forgiveness and reconciliation strikes a universal chord in fans the world over and continues generating fans 20 years later via the film and many fan comments and blogs throughout the web.

" Ghost Beside My Bed ," produced by Tony Berg , went #1 on Rock Radio in 1991 in many states in the U.S. and top 30 nationally. The song, with its Radiohead and Pink Floyd like properties and mixed by legendary mixer/producer Bob Clearmountain , ( Paul McCartney , Bruce Springsteen and others), stood in profound contrast to the radio fare that year. Guitarist Curtis Mathewson, who plays the David Gilmour like passionate solo in the song went on to co-produce the first record of the top 40 rock group, "Train."

Gregory Markel continues to record music, most recently in 2006 with Paul McCartney guitarists Rusty Anderson , Christian Nesmith, drummer Chip Moreland and bassist Howard Ulyate.
