Music

The graduating Sixth Grade class at Shadd Elementary School in Washington, D.C. made its way to the stage and began to sing,"Wade in the Water." Suddenly, a voice boomed out from among the students, "See that host all dressed in white." The audience began to stir in their seats, with puzzled expressions on their faces that ask, "Where is that voice coming from?" That solo voice belonged to eleven year old Gregory Henneghan. Since that day Greg Henneghan has overwhelmed audiences throughout the United States, Canada, England, and Scotland.

During his teenage years, he was featured in numerous performances throughout the D. C. area such as,"Happy Birthday Black America," at the Ford Theatre, lead vocalist and vocal arranger for Tommy Bryant's, "Giants of Sound," soloist with the D.C. Community Orchestra, the McLean Symphony, Lex Luthor in the musical, "Santa and the Super Heroes," and Grand finalist in the Washington, D.C. Talent Search. Under the guidance and tutelage of such greats as Donny Hathaway and Van McCoy, Greg made the decision to pursue his life's dream of a career in music.

Perhaps his greatest influence came from R & B Artist, Angela Wimbush.  During a brief stint as a student teacher at H. D. Woodson High School in Washington, D.C., Wimbush tutored a young Greg Henneghan in music theory and education. It was an experience he never forgot. Henneghan recounts, "Whenever she saw young people who were gifted, she would encourage them to develop their gifts to the fullest potential. She made a point of identifying her students' strong points. Early in my career, she recognized that my strong suit was picking up melodies, writing lyrics, and turning them into songs."

In 1991, he made a successful tour to England as a part of the Assembly of God Evangelical Tour. In 1992, he made a second successful tour to Glasgow, Scotland with the Youth Evangelistic Tour.

As a consummate performer, he has been the featured solo artist at such places as the Village Gate in New York, the Apollo Theatre, Zanzibar Blue in Philadelphia, Takoma Station Tavern in Washington, D.C., and Monday Night Football on ABC Television. His performances have included opening and headlining with the likes of Jean Carn, Angela Bofill, Phyllis Hyman, Stanley Turrentine, Phil Perry, George Duke, Freddy Jackson and Musiq Soulchild, to name a few. Having an instant recall repertoire of over one-thousand cover tunes at his disposal, made him an artist with a broad variety of musical tastes and styles.

In 1999, Greg signed a contract to become the lead singer for the Platinum recording group, LTD. During his tenure with the group, they released one album. Greg wrote many of the songs for the album including the title track, Marry You. His recordings include, Going Back Home, Looking At Eternity, In Praise & Worship, Marry You, and Classic Jazz and R&B. He is founder and owner of SWAB Records

Greg Henneghan was born in South Carolina, grew up in Washington, D. C and graduated from H. D. Woodson High School. He attended Livingstone College in Salisbury, North Carolina.
