Greg Rekus has Performed more then 50 shows this year stretching from Lasqueti island British Columbia to St. John's Newfoundland. Playing everywhere from bars to places rarely ever considered as possible concert venues, the spring was a huge success for Mr. Rekus and paved the way for more touring this fall. Soon to be hurtling down an estranged assortment of random western Canadian highway, Greg will be touring in support of his new full length "The Dude Abides". This trip will be the first of many and an Eastern US, Eastern Canada and Euro tour are all in sight, gleaming on near and distant shores.

Live, Greg's act can be described as punk rock meets outlaw country hooked up to a huge transformer to kick up the energy to 1.21 gigawatts. The lyrical content stretches from drinking in your favourite bar, to the friends you have, to quitting your job, political jousting, life in general, and then back again. All this when strumming the hell out of an acoustic guitar and stomping the beat out on his custom built stomp box.

Produced and engineered by sound wiz John Paul Peters, "The Dude Abides" has 10 original songs showcasing a raw, stripped down, bare bones sound that ears everywhere drool over. For 5 days Greg and John locked themselves away in Private ear studios escaping exclusively for delicious burritos, gourmet pizza, and spontaneous listening sessions on the van stereo. The out come was a punk stomp album that is trading in some of the traditional elements for a frenetically played acoustic guitar, and stomp.
