Episode 95: Greg Fraser of Brighton Rock

Episode 95: Greg Fraser of Brighton Rock

Today’s guest is Canadian guitarist, singer, and songwriter Greg Fraser. Born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Greg’s musical journey began as a teenager with the local band Lennex, where he recorded an album with legendary David Bowie guitarist Mick Ronson. Though that project never saw release, it set the stage for bigger things to come.

In 1982, Fraser teamed up with bassist Stevie Skreebs, eventually bringing in vocalist Gerry McGhee to form what would become Brighton Rock. With the addition of drummer Mark Cavarzan and keyboardist Martin Victor, the band broke through with hit singles like “We Came To Rock” and “Can’t Wait For The Night”, earning two gold records, three Juno nominations, and in 1988 Fraser was named Best New Guitarist at the Toronto Music Awards, surpassing even Jeff Healey.

Following Brighton Rock’s breakup in 1992, Greg collaborated with members of Triumph, toured with Helix, and later co-founded Fraze Gang with Skreebs, releasing two albums. Brighton Rock reunited in 2012, and in 2017 Fraser launched his latest project, Storm Force—a band blending Brighton Rock’s melodic sensibilities with the harder-edged influence of UFO, Thin Lizzy, and Van Halen. Their debut, Age of Fear (2020), received critical acclaim across the globe.

From the early days in Ontario clubs to international recognition, Greg Fraser has built a career marked by hooks, riffs, and a passion for melodic hard rock.
