Gregory "Greg" Poulos passed away on April 29th, 2022, at the age of 70, in his hometown of Sarasota, FL.
An extraordinary blues guitarist, Greg devoted his entire life to music. Over the years, Greg traveled the world and played with the best of the best, among them Freddie King and The Allman Brothers Band. He loved playing on the Florida Suncoast and for many years has been the lead guitar player for one of the area's local bands, Kettle of Fish. He has also played with Rock Bottom, Sarasota Slim, Chris Anderson, Dan Electro and the Silvertones, Pat Ramsey, The Billy Rice Band, The Venturas, Damon Fowler, and too many others to mention.
Greg is survived by his two children, Sarah Poulos Bikos and Gregory Nicholas Poulos, his sister, Niki Poulos Joyce, his brother Richard "Dick" Poulos, and his girlfriend Cynthia Caroline.
His kindness and talent touched everyone he encountered. A local legend, the sounds of Greg Poulos are famous here in Sarasota, but his kind nature was memorable as well. He had a swagger, a coolness, a bright smile. So many will miss him.
In celebration of his life, his family and friends will be holding a public musical celebration on May 22nd, at Stottlemyers Smokehouse from 12-8PM.

We have some very good guitarist in Sarasota. I knew Greg for over 20 years and sat and played with him. I think he was the best we had. He was a good person. I had spoken with him on the phone a couple of months ago. His passing shocked me and made me very sad. He will be missed.

When a person is so full of life, it is hard to imagine them taken from us. Greg's memory and legacy will still be quite alive from all the good vibes and great music he created in 70 years.
