Resting somewhere in the vein of Jason Isbell, Bruce Springsteen, The Bottlerockets and Swinging Steaks is Greg Loftus and The Ten Ninety-Nines. Their first visit to the Fallout Shelter in early 2024 was a jaw-dropping experience that took mere minutes to grab the audience and the staff and took us all on a ride none of us will forget. His song writing is nothing short of magnificent, his voice is classic, his stage presence is hardened to perfection and his band? Damn! What a band!!So when you think about Greg Loftus and the Ten Ninety-Nines think of Deer Tick, The Bottlerockets, Drive By Truckers, Swinging Steaks...this is hard driving, melodic, blue collar symphony for the common man. Roots rock and roll. PERIOD!
Greg Loftus has been writing songs since the second he picked up a guitar at 12 years old. During the fall of 2007, Greg started writing country-tinged acoustic tunes while living in Providence, RI. There, he was immersed and inspired by the DIY folk scene by watching local artists like Deer Tick and Brown Bird. This is also when he was exposed to the songwriting chops of traveling troubadours like Townes Van Zant, John Prine, and Steve Earle.
In 2008 he released his self-produced debut album “No Taking Prisoners Tonight” on the West Virginia-based independent label Big Bullet Records
