Growing up, Greg Leon was inspired by the dawn of the 70’s Guitar-Heroes. He immersed himself in the 6-string prowess of Jimi Hendrix, Leslie West, Frank Marino, Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose, Rick Derringer, Pat Travers, Rory Gallagher, Danny Johnson, Johnny Winter and Ritchie Blackmore. 

Raised in the Los Angeles suburb Glendale, Greg focused his love of guitar to develop and hone his own unique passionate approach to the instrument at a truly amazing time in the Hollywood music scene. 

As a teen, Greg teamed up with future Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee in their band Suite 19. Back in the 80’s he was a wonder-kid guitar slinger on the Sunset Strip, and made his mark while rubbing elbows and trading licks with Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads at the legendary Starwood club. Greg took over for Randy Rhoads when he left Quiet Riot to join Ozzy Osbourne. After a year with Quiet Riot, Greg became one of the founding members of Dokken. Greg toured Europe with the band and worked on a substantial amount of material for the first album. Shortly after returning from a  European tour with Dokken, Greg turned his guitar position over to George Lynch and decided to strike out on his own to follow his destiny and musical vision in a power-trio format in tribute to his early guitar hero influences. 

The Greg Leon Invasion was born! The goal was to stay true to his musical heart by taking center stage with his powerful vocals and unique guitar playing. The Greg Leon Invasion is without a doubt a power-trio, featuring of course lead guitarist/vocals, Greg Leon, (Dokken, Quiet Riot) the very talented George Roelke, (bass guitarist/backing vocals, (Shout, Fortune) and drummer extraordinaire, Greg Stevens. (The Billy Ryan Band, Muffy Panics, Alestar Digby) Rhythm section, George Roelke and Greg Stevens were hand picked by Greg Leon for their incredible musicianship and great stage presence. Both musicians have impressive resumes under their belts as well, and are total assets to The Greg Leon Invasion. 

The highlight of the 2007 summer tour schedule was at the monumental ROCK FEVER FEST "ROCKLAHOMA" on July 13^th, where The Greg Leon Invasion spread “Rock n' Awe” to thousands of  followers new and old alike. Aside from 3 seperate appearances by The Greg Leon Invasion at the 2007 Rocklahoma festival, Greg performed the National Anthem on his guitar while a Blackhawk helicopter hovered over the crowd. Definitely a day that will go down in Rock history.

Greg Leon is a true journeyman musician, producing several “Independent” albums before the term even existed, such as his debut cd titled "Invasion," followed by "Unfinished Business" in 2005, and "Wishing Well" in 2007. Over the years Greg has maintained his own integrity by not following trends and staying steadfastly true to his path and musical vision; The Greg Leon Invasion marches on! The guy's are currently in the studio working on their 4th cd titled "Tell The Children" which will be released sometime in early 2009.

Greg Leon's ability to maintain his musical vision for over three decades is testament to his conviction to make real rock music that touches people.

Be forewarned – there’s an INVASION coming to your town where the motto is “Make Rock not War!”
