Super-huge thanks to the fine folks at the Phoenix Film Festival for selecting “Eating in My Car Again” for their festival in Scottsdale (April 9 – 19, 2026).
Featuring Keith Larson as “The Driver,” this video was created by Nico Sotomayor. Many thanks to Keith and Nico and everyone else who played a role in making this fun music video.
“Eating in My Car Again” is a featured tune on my new album “Down at the Polystereophonic Dive Bar,” coming out on March 24, 2026.
Hey, it’s Super Bowl Sunday. Seems like a good day to reveal my album cover. “Down at the Polystereophonic Dive Bar” is coming in March.
And now back to Bad Bunny.
“Morning Dew” – Performed by Greg Roensch and Jules Leyhe as a tribute to Bob Weir and the Grateful Dead. Thank you for the music.
This anti-nuclear war song was written and originally recorded by Bonnie Dobson. It was subsquently recorded by the Grateful Dead and included on their debut album.
New album coming in March… just waiting for the right wave.
Many thanks to all the talented folks who played on the record.

Before closing out 2025, I want to say thanks again to the San Francisco Public Library for selecting “Howling at the Moons of Saturn” for the Bay Beats collection. It’s an honor to be included with so many amazing local artists.
Thanks to the fine folks at the Another Hole in the Head film festival for showing “Bird on a Wire” on Day 1 of the festival at the Balboa Theatre in San Francisco.
The art and the music all worked great on the big screen. Thanks to everyone involved in bringing this short film to life.
I’m beyond honored and extremely grateful to announce that “Howling at the Moons of Saturn,” my spoken-word album featuring an amazing lineup of musicians, has been added to the San Francisco Public Library Bay Beats collection.
A few words about my album
It’s sometimes playful
It’s sometimes groovy
It’s sometimes surreal
It’s sometimes like a movie
It’s sometimes light
It’s sometimes metaphysical
It’s sometimes interstellar
It sometimes gets political
Sometimes my words rhyme
Sometimes they don’t
Sometimes they flow like a river
Sometimes I wonder if they missed the boat
Sometimes my words come from my heart
Sometimes they spring from my head
Sometimes I spit them out at breakfast
Sometimes they arrive when I’m sleeping in bed
So, here’s a note of thanks
To everyone who played a part
In transforming my concept
Into a library-bound work of art
I’d also like to thank
All the dedicated librarians
And everyone on the SFPL staff
Especially the Bay Beats custodians
What a wondrous institution our library is
A place where knowledge thrives
And diverse music lives
Play on
With Deadheads flocking to the Bay Area for the 60th anniversary celebration concerts in Golden Gate Park, I marked the occasion by crossing the bridge to San Leandro for a return to the annual Cleveland St. Block Party. I didn’t pull any Dead songs out of my hat, but instead played a short set of mostly original numbers.
For the record, the last time I played on Cleveland St. was in 2006, with StationWagon.
Set list: Rock-n-Roll Oasis, That’s Alright (Best Is Yet to Come), You Never Know, Eating in My Car Again, Angel from Montgomery, Gimme a Silver Dollar, Sunflower Sunday, Alcatraz, Magnolia, E Is for Elephant, Speak Your Mind.
Here are the opening lines from Today Artists 7/1/25 review of my live album at Tiny Telephone.
In an era where studio perfection often outweighs raw emotion, Greg Roensch leans into vulnerability with his newly released album Rock-n-Roll Oasis: Live at Tiny Telephone. The project, recorded live with an intimate studio audience, brings together storytelling, spontaneity, and live musical energy in a way that feels personal and resonant.
Listen to the album on Bandcamp, Spotify, or wherever you get your music online.
Here’s some audience banter from a recent gig with Jules Leyhe at Moon Landing in Oakland, CA. After the banter, we launch into the first-ever public performance of “You Think You Got Something to Say.”
