Greg Errico is a drummer and producer who most famously played in Sly & The Family Stone. He was only 17 years old when he joined the band when they released their first album, A Whole New Thing until There’s A Riot Goin’ On, released in 1971.
After Sly & The Family Stone, Greg played with artists such as David Bowie, Weather Report, Carlos Santana and many others.
It was a real pleasure talking to Greg, especially since Sly & The Family Stone has been such an inspiration in my life and I hope you will enjoy our conversation as well.
In this interview, we spoke about:
• The experience recording with Sly & The Family Stone
• Playing with Larry Graham and his inventive style of slap bass
• How Greg started playing at the age of 14 and joining Sly at the age of 17/18
• The importance of less is more
• Why he quit Sly & The Family Stone
• Keeping in touch with Sly and if he can get him out to perform again
• Woodstock and the sound quality at that time
• Meeting Jimi Hendrix
• Having a limousine company
• The slow times of the 80s’ and 90s’
• Stick People
• The difficulty of having created a unique style of music
And much, much more
