Widely regarded as a “a guitar player’s guitarist,” Greg Koch has forged a long career creating unique takes on classic American guitar styles, writing versatile compositions, touring the world, making viral videos and just about anything else an accomplished musician cando.

Now in his late-50s, Koch’s latest stage in his learned career is the instrumental Koch Marshall Trio, which spans the genres of jazz, blues, rock funk and more—particularly evident in its latest release, 2023’s Orange Roominations.
He hits the road on a southeastern tour with his son and drummer Dylan Koch and Hammond organ specialist Toby Lee Marshall this spring, and makes his latest stop in Tampa on Thursday with local support from fellow guitarists Shaun Hopper and Chris Barbosa.
Tickets to see Greg Koch play the music hall at New World Brewery in Tampa on Thursday, March 7 are still available and start at $15.
