Artist History Evolving from a jam band assembled in the late 1970’s, Silent Radio first formed in 1982, played in the Ann Arbor and Detroit areas, and achieved its present form in 1984. Greg’s original music is a synthesis of the music he has been producing since ear ly childhood, with a folk trio in the mid-1980’s and a country-reggae group in the mid-1990’s along the way. In recent years, Greg has also become involved in theater, everything from Shakespearean to dinner theater, which prepares him as a striking pres ence on stage. Gail Baker is a lead vocalist and plays guitar as well. She has won awards for her songwriting, having accumulated a discography of eight releases. She moved on to critical acclaim as a vocalist with styles ranging from jazz to rock to n ew wave. Gail has been trained as a recording engineer and producer and co-produced the Silent Radio release. She has since gone on to front a new world beat group 47UMa. Christopher "Kip" Godwin plays lead and rhythm guitars, both acoustic and electri c. Kip has performed extensively with popular regional and local bands, receiving wide acclaim for his guitar work. In addition to the Silent Radio project, he has participated in many studio projects, being considered a versatile, intelligent guitarist among his peers, and he has also been classically-trained as a percussionist. Ray Bailey plays bass and sings backup vocals, previously performing with many well-known local bands in the Ann Arbor area. He also performs and records with two new local g roups, Nuthin’ Fancy and Fancy That, also on the Megawave label. Scott Williams plays drums and sings vocals. He is a classically-trained percussionist who has performed with noted symphony orchestras throughout Indiana and Michigan, but has a passion for rock’n’roll. Scott’s enthusiasm for drumming has brought him to the front as a much-called-upon sideman for Detroit artists.Z
