J-Bird Records International Blues Recording Artist to perform at Chaser's Lounge in Orange, Ca.

Greg Serrato, referred by some as "The Guitar Tornado" is a Native American (Apache) high-powered blues rock guitarist, vocalist and songwriter who takes command of the stage with his ferocious fret work and hard driving blues. Hailing from southern California, he is regarded by www.Bluesrockers.ws as one of the most talented blues rock guitarists in the world. Greg is back by veteran drummer Alan Cater and the legendary bassist of the Blendells fame "Big" Mike Rincon. The partnership has become a force to be reckoned with and is generating a lot of excitement in and around the United States.

In the summer of 2000, Greg toured Canada and parts of the United States to share his music with blues fans abroad. Following the success of the Windsor & London Canada BluesFest International 2000, Greg spent the next nine months in the recording studio during 2000-2001 laying down what is now his third release on J-Bird Records.

"Like A Tornado" (nominated for Best Blues Recording by The Native American Music Awards)is a twelve song album of all original music with the exception of the Bob Dylan classic "All Along The Watchtower." Greg takes full advantage to experiment and drive his music in different directions; taking it to new heights. None the less, never steering away from the element which fuels his desire to perform: The Blues! One reviewer put it simple. "Like A Tornado will blow you away!"

Prior J-Bird Records releases include the critically acclaimed "Child Of The Blues - 1998" and the scorcher; "Holy Smokes - 1999." Both are nationally distributed by the Navarre Corporation.

In July of 2002, Serrato released his "Live At Modesto's State Theater" cd. This is a true representation of his fiery performances and the excitement he generates when he takes the stage. This cd has received some very high marks for excellence.

Greg started playing the guitar at the age of five and by the age of eleven, he was performing in his first band. Since then, he has shared Blues Festival and Concert Club stages with such notables as, Double Trouble, Albert Collins, Rod Piazza, Colin James, Canned Heat, Savoy Brown, Sonny Rhodes, Gregg Allman, Jeff Healey, Leon Russell, Bill Lordan, Lowell Fulson, Johnnie Johnson, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Rik Emmit, Tommy Castro, El Chicano, Duke Robillard, Etta James, Jimmie Vaughan, Keb Mo, Robin Trower and many, many more.

Greg's influences include Freddie King, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Danny Gatton, Robin Trower, and Carlos Santana.

As one New York reviewer wrote: "People we have got to get this guy to town to see if he's for real!" We guarantee Serrato is as real and talented as they come!
