About
Gary Wayne "G.W." Myers plays his guitar-powered songs & instrumentals: an alt-country tearjerker one minute, a rootsy rocker the next...
A few quick G.W. notes and quotes: • “do-re-mi-fa-SO-LA-POW-ER” is a tune G.W. is sure to play at a solar-powered venue • “Cupid shot an arrow / it hit me in the eye / but I got one left / so I can cry, cry, cry” • He plays kī hōʻalu/kee-ho-AH-loo & studied w/ some of the Who’s Who of Kī hōʻalu • His kī hōʻalu (or Hawaiian slack key guitar) polka can be heard in the VIDEO ABOVE In addition to being a musician, G.W. was, once upon a time: an ice cream maker, a souvenir salesman, a bookstore clerk, a paperboy, a construction worker, a painter’s helper, a landscaper, a dishwasher, a bank teller, a theatre usher, a roofer-for-a-day, a janitor, and, at the tender age of eleven, a door-to-door greeting card salesman… er… salesBOY. One certain gig stands out in G.W.’s mind: playing bass, in a band, at the New York City Marathon. He recounts, “we were on a flatbed truck parked at a gas station and the runners passed by us as we played. Undoubtedly the largest audience I’ve ever played to.”
