Greg Laswell "Three Flights From Alto Nido"

Greg Laswell is an alternative singer in the songwriting industry. Greg first started out his career in the band Shillglen with five other members. The band had moderate success when nominated for Best Alternative Album and Best Alternative Band at the San Diego Music Awards in 2000. The Band themselves decided to take a break from the musical industry in mid-2001. The band never regrouped and Greg Laswell later established himself as a solo artist. He has success in his own albums winning awards for his own work. He joined tours with other talented artist and found his songs featured in movies and TV shows including Grey's Anatomy. Today he released 5 studio albums, 3 extended plays, and 7 singles.

The third studio album is presented with the title Three Flights From Alto Nido. It was released in July of 2008 through Vanguard Records. There are 11 tracks on this particular album including a bonus track. All songs were written, recorded, and preformed by Greg Laswell himself. Greg preforms vocals, piano, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, harmonium, bass, melotron, bells, and organ. The multi-instrumental Laswell continues the San Diego native's taste for exquisite, mature, pop music. All the songs on the album portray the elegiac, bitter, dreamy, and confident mood one conveys through life. Three Flights
From Alto Nido shows a lot of music displaying the predicament situations towards relationships and solitude. Including the song Days Go On and It's Been A Year Greg shows his problems with relationships and how he resolves with them in a way to make him feel better.

Although Greg's songs show a lot of concern with ones mind, listening to the music begin with soft and warm voice lyrics and instruments to a powerful and rock sound really show the meaning and how he feels toward different situations.
