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.
New album coming in March… just waiting for the right wave.
Many thanks to all the talented folks who played on the record.

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.
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.”

Thanks a ton to Jules Leyhe for hosting and playing awesome guitar (as always) at our super-cozy duo show at his new studio in Oakland, California. We played new songs, old songs, love songs, doom and gloom songs, and more. As one attendee commented afterwards, “it was wonderful… the most fun I’ve had in years!”
Huge thanks also to Danielle Goldsmith for capturing the show with her mobile recording gear.

Another review is in for Rock-n-Roll Oasis: Live at Tiny Telephone. I think the writer (Matt Jensen) does a great job of capturing the essence of the night and our performance, with quotes like this:
“The album carries the spirit of MTV’s Unplugged sessions, recreating that same sense of closeness, as if the listener is tucked into the corner of a dimly lit studio, watching the trio lock into their set. Across 18 tracks, the record plays best when experienced as a whole—one of those albums you can let spin from start to finish…”
And this:
“The applause, the stripped-down instrumentation, and the room’s natural acoustics give Rock-n-Roll Oasis: Live at Tiny Telephone a warmth that feels immediate and present. Roensch leans into the rawness of a live setting, allowing for small imperfections that make the album feel human and unaffected by studio gloss. It’s a direct, unfiltered snapshot of a songwriter in his element, fully engaged with the moment.”
Thanks to Matt Jensen and Pitch Perfect for their attention to the music and their insightful words.
