Greg Kihn

Greg Kihn has been called “rock’s true renaissance man.” His career stretches from the dawn of punk and indie rock to the discos of the 80’s and the glory days of MTV.

He’s had hit records, appeared on Saturday Night Live, opened for the Rolling Stones, jammed with Springsteen, won the ASCAP and Midem Awards for his worldwide #1 hit Jeopardy, and The Breakup Song, was parodied by Weird Al and lived to tell about it.

In the 90’s Greg turned his attention to writing fiction. He published four novels, a handful of short stories in various anthologies, edited a compilation of original fiction by musicians and was nominated for the prestigious Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel.

It was also in the 90’s that he began his radio career at a little classic rock station in San Jose which grew to become the most powerful music station in Northern California. Greg, now broadcasting from KFOX’s penthouse studio in San Francisco, has been doing the morning show there for the past 15 years. He has become the face of classic rock in San Francisco.

Greg was inducted into the San Jose Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 2008. He still plays with his band featuring his son Ry Kihn on lead guitar.
