This mix fits well with the ‘60s caveman garage stomp of Shelley Ganz and the storied Unclaimed, the L.A. stalwarts ‘60s psych protagonists who've been in the scene for over four decades," Turner explains.

Turner has two solo records, released in 2013 and 2017, followed by forming The Gregg Turner Group in 2020.
