Details:
When Greg Walton was in 5th grade he begged his parents to buy him a guitar so he could imitate the art of such musical influences as The Beatles, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac and others. He was a quick study, but soon found that his real passion for music came from the progressive ministry that was coming from his church. His participation in the junior youth choir and his deep reflection on the Bible prompted his interest in music evangelization and a stronger commitment to his faith.

Greg Walton continues to remain steadfast in his dedication to ministry and has never given up on his pursuit of excellence in his music. He is the recipient of 3 UNITY AWARDS presented by the UCMVA and performance opportunities throughout his career have taken him all over the United States, Canada and Europe. He has performed at hundreds of youth rallies, LIFETEEN events, dozens of festivals and evangelical events, and some of the worldâs largest ecumenical gatherings including World Youth Day, Creation Festival, NCYC, Kingdom Bound and others. Greg has shared the stage with celebrated artists including PolarBoy, Ceili Rain, DC Talk, Newsboys and others. His music has been distributed by Troubadour for the Lord, Spring Arbor Music, HeartBeat Distribution, and most recently, SpiritandSong Records/OCP. Greg Walton has an impressive track record for an independent artist, but first and foremost he is a dedicated husband, father, youth leader, music minister, and keynote speaker.

In addition to his commitment to serving in ministry, Greg also believes deeply that Christian faith acts itself out in charity and partners often with the relief and development efforts of organizations such as Mercy Corps, World Vision and others. This commitment can be heard in his 2008 radio single-TUNE OF IGNORANCE, his first radio release in 7 years. Greg recalls, âI was inspired to write the song after I started supporting a child in Rwanda through a relief and development organization. By living a Judeo-Christian spiritual life, I believe that serving the poor is central to my understanding of living in love, so I thought writing a song to encourage others to meet the needs of the poor was key.â The song was produced by Jeff Thomas (Matt Maher-Empty & Beautiful), and features key players including Ken Lewis, Matt Pierson, Scott Dente, and others. In addition to the radio single available as a download only, Greg Walton will be hosting a coordinating âimpact projectâ during his LIVE concert appearances where concert goers can drop a âbuck in the bucketâ after the performance of the song and proceeds will be offered to Mercy Corps.
