Greg is a co-founding member of the band in 1989 and has been lending his remarkable songwriting abilities and lead vocals to Hepcat ever since. His distinctive lisp creates one of the most unique voices in music. While growing up in Alabama, his father, Robert, engineered at the legendary Muscle Shoals Studio and on one occasion he brought the legendary Toots Hibbert (of the Maytals) home for dinner. He sights some of his influences as James Brown, Marvin Gaye and Earth, Wind & Fire.


Kincaid Smith. The horn section of Hepcat is yet another component which makes Hepcat the incredible band that it is. Brassman extraordinaire, Kincaid Smith, sights his musical influences as The Skatalites, Dizzy Gillespie and so on, but admits that all music influences his work. Kincaid can be heard blasting out solos and can often be seen dancing on stage. His first album with Hepcat, was the band's second and showcased not only Kincaid playing trumpet but flugelhorn as well.



David Hillyard's departure after Hepcat's first album left a gap in the tenor sax role, but Efren Santana came in and beautifully took over this role. Now one-half of Hepcat's horn section, one can hear Efren accompany his fellow bandmates and frequently break out on his own fantastic solos. Efren enjoys heavy metal music, especially Slayer, but don't be shocked by this because the multi-styled Hepcat encompasses all types of music and this is what makes them so unique.
