Greg Storer is an Australian country music singer and a cropping farmer who runs a property near Warren in Central Western New South Wales.[1] He is the brother of country music singer Sara Storer, who encouraged him to write music and with whom he has performed duets, including his debut single "When I was a Boy" (2009) and on his first album Backwater (2010). [2]
According to The Land newspaper, Greg wrote his first song in 2003, called Billabong, about the waterhole where the family swam and caught yabbies, and Sara Storer recorded the song on her third album.[1] ABC Radio National described his debut album as "a collection of well-crafted down home stories of rural life" for which he "employed the cream of Australia's country musicians".[3]
In January 2023, Greg will feature on the self-titled album by Storer, alongside his sister Sara and Greg's daughters Bonnie & Pip.[4]
