To call writer Greg Prato prolific is like saying the sky is blue.
He’s written dozens of books about musicians, including Blind Melon, Iron Maiden, and Mark Lanegan, and topics like yacht rock and guitar shredders.
Prato is also known as a sports scribe, including his beloved New York Jets, New York Islanders, and the tri-state area’s (NY, NJ, CT) perennial punchline, the New York Mets.
When writing about music, his approach often involves deep dives into the bands’ backgrounds, comprehensive histories of musical genres, and personal interviews that reveal the human side of celebrities and athletes. Prato’s writings offer chronological events, critical analyses, and cultural contexts that frame these developments in a broader perspective.
Greg Prato contributes regularly to various well-known publications, where his articles and interviews attract readers with their insightful commentary and unique perspectives.
Whether addressing the legacy of a rock legend or guitar God or dissecting pivotal sports teams or events, Prato’s work enriches readers’ understanding of the subjects.
Greg Prato is to writing as wet is to water.
