"SAVING THE WORLD FROM WHINY, VICTIM LOVE SONGS!”
Singer/Songwriter/Humorist Greg Tamblyn likes to spread the good mood. According to Tamblyn, the goal of his irreverent music and musings on our often crazy culture is to help people "see the best in themselves, and laugh at the rest of themselves."
As he explains, "A wise man I know likes to say that one of the most radical things you can do here in the U.S. of Stress is to have a good day. So I'm on a mission to help people lighten up."
Tamblyn's music reflects the joy he finds in simple pleasures, and the humor in the dysfunctional ones. One example: shining his comedic spotlight on what he calls "whiny victim love songs." Tamblyn has collected hundreds of these, including titles like "I'm So Miserable Without You, It's Like You Were Here," and "If You Won't Leave Me, I'll Find Someone Who Will." Or Carole King's "He Hit Me (And It Felt Like A Kiss)."
"Songs like these are not really about love, but about celebrating victimhood or taking hostages," says Tamblyn. "They go far beyond sadness and even grief, to an island of longing and desperation that no one should inhabit. Except maybe Phil Spector. I want people to wake up and consign lyrics like 'Without you, I'm garbage,' to their rightful place in the world of entertainment: material for comedy!"
So he's coming to the rescue with a free comedy concert at ( place ) at ( time and date ), and with a double CD entitled Saving The World From Whiny Victim Love Songs.
Tamblyn's concerts tend to be as funny as they are musical, featuring selections from his new album, including "I'd Like To Be The Man My Dog Thinks I Am;" "The Top 10 Whiny Victim Love Songs;" "The Shootout At The I'm OK, You're OK Corral;" "Self-Employment Made Harder By Difficult Boss;" and "My Life Is A Beer Commercial." Another tune, "Common Side Effects Include," won the 2004 Just Plain Folks Music Award for "Best Comedy/Novelty Song" out of over 140,000 songs submitted. (www.jpfolks.org). Listeners can hear Tamblyn's songs at www.gregtamblyn.com.
If Tamblyn has his way, there will still be great love songs, just not ones that encourage us to be--or take--love slaves. And people will come away from his concerts knowing how to lighten the stress of daily living with love and laughter.

"SINGER, SONGWRITER, TRANSFOMATIONAL HUMORIST”
Award winning singer/songwriter Greg Tamblyn brings his humor, songs, and sideways overview on life to (City). He’ll share his music and musings in a special evening event which is “more than a concert, it’s a psycho-spiritual experience.”
GREG TAMBLYN
If laughter is the best medicine and music is the universal language, singer/songwriter Greg Tamblyn has a license to heal anywhere in the world. Tamblyn uses humorous personal stories and songs to reach his audiences. With songs like “The Shootout At The I’m OK, You’re OK Corral,” and “My Life is a Beer Commercial,” his feel-good shows are heavy on laughs. He sings about subjects ranging from modern relationships and cultural absurdities to forgiveness on the field of battle.
A brochure for Duke University Medical Center’s “Integrating Mind, Body, and Spirit in Medical Practice” conference lists Tamblyn as a member of the seminar’s faculty. Where initials such as M.D. and Ph.D. follow the other presenter’s names, the listing for Tamblyn is followed by N.C.W., which stands for “No Credentials Whatsoever.” He jokes that his primary learning came from the “school of life,” and that he almost flunked out.
He was rated “Best Male Vocalist” in his hometown of Kansas City by The Squire Newspapers. As a professional songwriter in Nashville, he has appeared nationally on The Nashville Network, and had songs recorded by other artists from Canada to the Philippines. One of his own records, It’s Another Joyful Elvis Presley Christmas, was named “Christmas Single of the Year” in Cashbox Magazine.
Stories from his life and songwriting have been featured in several recent books, including Stressed Is Desserts Spelled Backwards, by Brian Luke Seaward; Shelter For The Spirit, by Victoria Moran; and Art and Soul, by Pam Grout.
"No Contest! This is the cleverest musical take on modern life. Your cheeks will hurt from laughter as your heart fills with empathy.”
PJ Birosik, Yoga Journal
