He is the co-creator and host of The What-Have-You, Del Ray's the most popular open mic, and performs solo acoustic with a loop station, or with his band Czars of Leisure.
He has been described as a mix of Elvis Costello, Wilco, and Tom Waits.
Czars of Leisure
Czars of Leisure is the recording project and stage name of Greg Roth, an americana-meets-power-pop-meets indie-rock singer/songwriter, based in Northern Virginia.
As a band, Czars of Leisure performs as a five-piece and draws inspiration from Sloan, Teenage Fanclub, and My Morning Jacket, and is sometimes backed up by Monumental Brass, adding a soul element reminiscent of The Band, Calexico, and some old Stax records.
OK Fine is available on Spotify and most other major music sites. A second record is expected in 2025.
