  • Gary Green ist ein Musiker. Er spielt Gitarre, Mandoline, Bass, Schlagzeug, Xylophon und singt. Green war von 1970 bis 1980 der Lead-Gitarrist der Progressive Rockband Gentle Giant, wobei er Stile aus dem Blues in deren Musik einfließen ließ. Von 1983 bis 1989 spielte er in einer Band namens Blind Dates zusammen mit dem Drummer Albert Hurst und in der Gruppe Big Hello. Nachdem er die Band verlassen hatte, produzierte er zusammen mit Paul Adams ein Album. Später spielte er in einer Power-Pop-Band namens The Elvis Brothers, deren Stil aber keinesfalls dem von Gentle Giant ähnelte. Im September 1995 reiste er mit der Band Divae zum Marechiaro Blues Festival. Dort spielten sie die Gentle Giant-Stücke The Boys in the band und The Return of The Giant . Billy Sherwood, der nach dem Ausstieg seines Partners, des Yes-Bassisten Chris Squire das von beiden ins Leben gerufene Projekt Conspiracy alleine weiterführt, hat Anfang 2007 Gary Green als Gastmusiker für ein neues Conspiracy-Album ins Boot geholt. Heute lebt Green etwas abseits von Chicago in Illinois in den USA.
