OXFORD - Singer/songwriter Greg Greenway is back at 6 On The Square in Oxford at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 4, sharing his four decades of music and stories from the road.

Born in Richmond, Va., Greenway moved to Boston for its rich folk music tradition. He has since become one of its most unique and superlative emissaries. Musically raised on the percussive right hand of Richie Havens and the flowing lyricism of Eric Andersen, these influences became the DNA of his own unique and continuing growth. As a musical omnivore, he has blended them into a multi-instrumental, genre-crossing style.

Greenway has played at such notable places as Carnegie Hall, and he's been heard on NPR's “All Things Considered” and “Mountain Stage.” His songs "What Must Be Done" and “In the Name of Love” (a lead in to the U2 classic “Pride”) also have been sung by choirs internationally.

His eight-year collaboration as Brother Sun with Pat Wictor and Joe Jencks reached thousands of fans with their intricate three-part harmonies, performing at festivals and concert halls across the U.S. and Canada.

Musically, his guitar, piano, ukulele and melodica reflect inspiration from all over the map —gospel, rock, blues, jazz and world music. His center is in the singer/songwriter tradition that traces its roots back to the social awareness of Woody Guthrie, as seen through the lens of Greenway’s humanity and affinity for the audience.

Greenway’s most recent album, 2023’s “Between Hello and Goodbye,” rose to No. 1 on the folk DJ chart, with three songs in the top 10.
