Greg Gilmore

Greg Gilmore is a musician in Seattle, Washington, and co-founder of the recording label First World Music. Greg was born in France on January 3rd, 1962, but grew up in the Seattle area

In the late 1980s Gilmore was a member of the critically acclaimed yet tragically short-lived, seminal Seattle band Mother Love Bone along with bandmates Andrew Wood (vocals), Bruce Fairweather (guitar), Jeff Ament (bass), and Stone Gossard (guitar). Ament and Gossard would eventually go on to Pearl Jam.

Gilmore went on to collaborate with Seattle engineer and producer Jack Endino (formerly of Skin Yard), with whom he would release Angle of Attack (1990) and Endino's Earthworm (1992).

In the ensuing years, Gilmore would collaborate with a wide variety of musicians on releases such as: Land's Archipelago (1997) and Doghead's eponymous 1996 release. Gilmore was also a member of 10 Minute Warning with Duff McKagan (The Fartz, Guns N' Roses), Chrisopher Blue, Paul Dana, Bob Groves, and David Garrigues.

1999 saw the release of the self-titled debut by Radio Chongqing, which Gilmore recorded with bandmates Lesli Dalaba (trumpet) and George Soler (stick).

Currently he has been playing with Steve Fisk and working on several other recording projects.

• In the liner notes of Down on the Upside (1996), Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil credits Gilmore with "inspiration" for the song Never the Machine Forever.
