Greta Morgan Salpeter (born February 12, 1988) is the pianist and one of the lead singers for the band Gold Motel. She started in the band The Hush Sound, which has now re-formed after a 3 year hiatus. Gold Motel's first album was released on June 1, 2010. She now uses the stage name Greta Morgan.
Background
She began learning piano at the age of two, studying classical music. She first met guitarist/vocalist of The Hush Sound, Bob Morris in 2001.[1] The two started playing together and created The Hush Sound, later recruiting Chris Faller on bass and Darren Wilson on drums. She graduated early from Benet Academy in 2006[citation needed] in order to tour on the Black Clouds and Underdogs Tour with Fall Out Boy and The All-American Rejects.
Greta Morgan is in a relationship with Eddie O'Keefe, an aspiring filmmaker originally from Elmhurst, Illinois and currently living in Los Angeles.
Career and music
As well as being a vocalist and pianist, Salpeter has also been known to play the guitar[2] bass guitar, and drums.
Gold Motel
In May 2009, following the announcement of an "indefinite hiatus" for The Hush Sound,[3] Salpeter began a new band named Gold Motel, who has since opened for OK GO, Kate Nash, Cold War Kids, Fun, and many others. At about the same time, she changed her stage name to Greta Morgan. Gold Motel consists of Morgan (vocals, songs, piano/organ/keyboards), Eric Hehr (guitar), Dan Duszynski (guitar, vocals), Matt Minx (bass), Adam Kaltenhauser (drums).[4]
