Greg Arnold is a singer/songwriter, performing musician and record producer.
He has been the writer and lead singer for "Things of Stone and Wood" since 1989. With the band, he won an ARIA and in 1993 he was the APRA Songwriter of the Year. He has written two top ten albums, the summery hit "Happy Birthday Helen" and one of the most radio played songs of 1994, "Wildflowers". His song "Silence no longer" was published as a poem in Rolling Stone, where "Junk Theatre" also scored a four star review. The band toured nationally and internationally for much of the 90s, and has been a headline act at most of the major local folk festivals.
His recent solo works have received extensive radio play on the ABC, and his song "Close My Eyes" which he recorded exclusively for The Red Cross (with Paul Greene and Rob Hirst) has had extensive play in the Pacific region and been played regularly on SBS television as a community service announcement.
His productions have enjoyed wide radio play and international exposure with additions on American College radio, BBC and major local stations. Recently his co‑production of Skipping Girl Vinegar has enjoyed high rotation on JJJ and ABC.
Other productions, such as Carus' "Three Boxes" (mixed with Brad Jones in Nashville) have received stellar local and international reviews.
He has a Bachelor of Arts (Honours in English Literature) from Melbourne University and a Masters of Education (Arts Administration) from RMIT.
