Gary Green

Gary Green (born November 20, 1950 in Stroud Green, North London, England) is a British musician. During the 1970s, he was the guitarist for the progressive rock band Gentle Giant. Green was with the band from the debut album "Gentle Giant" all the way to the last album "Civilian". Green's style was different from most of his peers, being a more "blues" based guitarist. Like his other band members, Green was also adept at other instruments, including mandolin and recorder among others.

Later on, he was a member of the band Mother Tongue.

In recent years, Green has been working with Billy Sherwood on a number of projects, including "Back Against The Wall" (2005) [http://www.relayer35.com/Yescography/BackAgainstTheWall.htm] and "Return to the Dark Side of the Moon" (2006).

Green currently lives in the Chicago area in an old Victorian home with his wife Judy and a large collection of animals that have been rescued and now receive much love.

Gary Green's brother, Jeff Green, was a roadie for Soft Machine in the early 1970s and later played with Elton Dean.

Green is the only ex-member of Gentle Giant still actively playing and recording.
