The Greg Kihn Band was started by frontman Greg Kihn and bassist Steve Wright. And while the lineup has changed over the years, the band still tours today! Greg Kihn began his musical career in Baltimore. He started writing songs and playing in the local coffee houses while in high school. At the age of 17, Kihn’s mom entered one of his original songs in a talent contest sponsored by one of the local top-40 radio stations! Gerg Kihn won…and was awarded a typewriter, a stack of records, and a Vox electric guitar.
