About the Band

From Johnny Cash to Morgan Wallen — and everything in between.

The Greg Collins Band is a six-piece group out of New York’s Capital District that plays the songs people actually want to hear—from ’50s blues and ’60s soul to classic rock, country, pop, rockabilly, and today’s hits. One set you’re singing along to Johnny Cash, the next you’re dancing to Springsteen, and before the night’s over we’ve thrown in some Stray Cats, Queen, and Morgan Wallen for good measure.


What sets us apart is the mix—solid harmonies, guitar-driven jams, and a setlist that moves between genres without missing a beat. We don’t just play covers; we put energy and soul into every song and keep crowds on their feet all night. We also write and record our own music, including our original track “Don’t Need Much,” available on Spotify.
