Greg Wilfrid is a music teacher and performing musician currently living in Wethersfield, CT. For the past fourteen years, he has performed happily with The Jolly Beggars, a Traditional Celtic folk band with four of his friends.
He released a seven-song album of his original songwriting material, "Dust and Soil." He recorded this album on a farm in South Windsor, CT, with the help of his good friend Sean Rubin. Greg is playing acoustic and electric guitars, piano, synthesizers, banjo, ukuleles, basses, drums, bass drum, shakers, tambourine, pillow, and scissors. Sean and some friends helped out on a couple songs, too.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Greg performed a weekly livestream concert series from his living room called “Music for Making Dinner,” featuring different themes every week, including Maritime music, Music of the 90’s, Music made by Women/Non-Binary Folks, and much more.
Greg incorporates his love of folk music and storytelling in his live performances, performing songs from his own songwriting repertoire as well as traditional folk ballads from around the world. He has presented workshops at Music Education conferences at the collegiate, state, regional, and national levels on topics such as incorporating storytelling in the music classroom and choosing quality folk music for the elementary school music classroom.
He teaches elementary school general music and choir in Plainville, CT, and is the Music Director at First Church of Christ in Bethany, CT. He’s also involved in numerous Music Education organizations.
