Greg Wells on k.d
How did you come to join KD Lang’s band, and do you consider it your break?
I consider it one of my breaks. I've been doing this for so long - I'm 40 years old now - this is all I've ever done. I had a big break in Canada before that playing with the Kim Mitchell band, who were at the time very famous in Canada. I auditioned to join and got it, and that led me to getting the KD Lang job, because the tour manager for the Kim Mitchell band wound up being KD Lang's manager. He knew they were looking for someone who could play a whole bunch of different instruments - I just got a phone call saying, "do you want to go on the road for the next three years with KD Lang?" I didn't even audition. He vouched for me and they flew me up to Vancouver and we started.
I learned so much working with KD, and she's still a friend of mine. This is a long time ago - 92-94 - but she really took me under her wing. She had a huge record on that tour, and she won Grammys - we did three nights at the Albert Hall, three nights at Radio City Music Hall in New York. It was fantastic for me, and taught me a lot while watching a brilliant artist tour her way to a platinum record and a Grammy for best female vocal. Once the tour was over, it also taught me I didn't want to stay on the road, as I couldn't get my career off the ground in Los Angeles.
