Catholic recording artist Greg
Walton has won five Unity Awards (“Catholic Grammys”), which are
given by the UCMVA for excellence in Catholic music. He is a
popular singer-songwriter who has performed hundreds of concerts
throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. He has shared the
stage with some of the world’s most popular artists and at some of
the world’s largest gatherings including World Youth Day, Creation
Festival, Kingdom Bound Festival and many other major events.
With such an impressive track record, one might think that Greg
had his sights set on stardom but nothing could be further from
the truth. Greg is first and foremost a dedicated husband, father
and teacher. His music is just one of the tools he uses to
communicate his deep love of God and his Catholic faith. Greg, in
fact, is a staff member of Father Ryan Catholic High School in
Nashville, Tennessee where, as a member of the theology
department, he teaches Sacred Scripture and Apologetics. Greg
formerly spent three years as a music teacher in the tough Proviso
West District of Chicago and also two years as the liturgist of
his home parish in Downers Grove, Illinois.
Greg’s third album, “I Won’t Back Down”, was released in 2002.
Like his previous releases, the current album has received
national airplay and great reviews from such prestigious magazines
as Catholic Parent. In addition to his teaching schedule Greg
still finds time to perform in concert from coast to coast, on his
own or with his band.
