During the summer of 2023, Greg Satterthwaite was awarded the South Arts Jazz Road Tours Grant.

Jazz Road Tours supports small, three- to six-site tours at an array of venue types, often in rural communities and other areas traditionally underserved by the genre.

This artist-centric grant program—designed to support approximately 50 tours each year—is made possible with funds from the Doris Duke Foundation with additional support from the Mellon Foundation.

“As a jazz pianist, educator and speaker,” said Satterthwaite, “I am proud to bring forth improvisational music that speaks to who I am as a performer and composer. I arranged and composed all compositions on my debut album Who I Am, and my sophomore album Savannah Blue was released on June 9, 2023. Both albums can be heard on major music streaming platforms. I am extremely excited about continuing to perform compositions from the new album Savannah Blue and share my artistry with others around the world.”
