Milwaukee native Greg Koch has forged a successful career
as “a guitar player’s guitarist.” He is not only a fiercely creative
player with a whole trick bag of impressive techniques, ranging
from Albert Lee chicken-pickin’ to Albert King string-bending
to all-out Hendrixian abandon, he is also is a clinician for
Fishman Transducers and his wildly popular “guitar test drive”
videos (4,000 to date) for Wildwood Guitars of Louisville,
Colorado have generated 50 million views. Koch also has a
signature axe which was released in 2019 by Reverend Guitars,
named the Greg Koch Signature Gristlemaster. The guitar
colors were given somewhat humorous names like: Kochwork
Orange, and Blucifer. He is also a best-selling method book
author and video instructor for music publisher Hal Leonard
and a contributing columnist for a variety of guitar magazines
including Guitar Player. Guitar great Steve Vai, who released
Koch’s 2001 album The Grip on his own Favored Nations
label, heaped praise on his fellow guitarist: “Greg Koch is
one of those rare guitarists that can blend various styles
with a light-hearted approach and a tremendous amount of
technique. Hearing him play is inspiring to a guitar player to
try to achieve greatness on the instrument.”
Dylan Koch gravitated to the drums early on in his life using
kitchen utensils to play along with music as soon as he could
walk. After digesting an early diet of Ginger Baker, Keith
Moon, Mitch Mitchell and John Bonham, Dylan was mentored
by the legendary Tom Brechtlein (Chick Corea/Robben Ford).
In high school, Dylan participated in the Jazz Institute at the
Wisconsin Conservatory of Music and furthered his studies at
the McNally Smith School of Music in the Twin Cities. While
still in his teens he performed with young guitar guns Tallan
Noble Latz and Jared James Nichols and has performed
alongside his father with such artists as Robben Ford, Little
Feat’s Paul Barrere, Jon Cleary, David Grissom, Roscoe Beck
and Malford Milligan. Dylan was recently nominated for
drummer of the year by the Wisconsin Area Music Awards
(WAMI). Says proud papa Koch, “This is the third official
recording with the kid. And what’s great about it is, you can’t
teach the grease. And he gets it. He gets the filth. I guess he’s
just got my filthy DNA.”
