Greg Weeks

Greg Weeks is a Rochester, NY-born folk maestro who's been weaving hushed, psychedelic-tinged gems since the late '90s, kicking off with his debut *Fire in the Arms of the Sun* and follow-ups like the stark breakup concept EP *Bleecker Station*, the electronic-leaning *Awake Like Sleep*, *Blood Is Trouble*, and EPs *Slightly West*. A key player in Philadelphia's "New Weird America" scene, he co-founded the psych-folk band Espers, ran the Hexham Head recording studio, and launched the Language of Stone label, putting out early work by artists like Marissa Nadler and Sharon Van Etten.

After the 2008 financial crash derailed his music career—leading him to shutter the studio, drop the label, and focus on teaching and family—Weeks vanished for 17 years, but the spark reignited during lockdown via songwriting and book projects. He's back strong in the mid-2020s with releases like *Gone Darkside*, *The Heathen Heart*, and his seventh solo album *If the Sun Dies* (out January 2026), blending cryptic lyrics, acoustic melancholy, Moog, Mellotron, and a leaner, analog warmth that nods to Nick Drake and Tim Buckley while feeling fresh and intimate. Now based in Elverson, Pennsylvania, he's rebuilt Hexham Head as a 24-track analog spot and revived Language of Stone independently.
