Welcome to Greg Schochet & Little America, where all the years combine, the rubber meets the road, and the country swings just the way you want it to.

I won’t lie, it’s a thrill to see my name on the left side of a band moniker after all the years of being one of the plurals on the right.

With the release of my first solo recording, Amblin’ Man, in 2021, there was tremendous support from my local radio and music community, and some nice opportunities to play that material under my name.

So I’ve assembled a crew of my favorite collaborators to help me find the sound of the Little America I live in. It’s country for sure; but it has to swing more than a little, and will certainly pick up a healthy head of steam every few tunes.

Here are a few tunes from our recent appearance at the 2022 Pagosa Folk ‘n Bluegrass Festival

Press Bio

Greg Schochet & Little America may be a newly formed band, but one that has been a long time coming. Greg is twenty plus years into a Colorado performing career, and his first foray into fronting a band is heavy on musical vision and loaded with accomplished players.

Already renowned as a first call country and bluegrass picker, Greg has assembled a crew to funnel that experience into a Western Swing powerhouse that harkens back to Colorado’s halcyon 70s era. With pedal steel and alto sax bringing the country and swing bona fides, upright bass and drums keep it dancing. Sure there are Bob Wills, Emmylou Harris and Red Knuckles nods, but also original songs and deep cuts from unexpected sources.

The band has been warmly received in its first few seasons of touring, with appearances at the Pagosa Folk ’n Bluegrass Festival, Dairy Center for the Arts and the Boulder Theater.
