Dillard plays around 150 gigs (average) per year and performs his own originals as well as an extensive mix of country, rock, R & B, and soul cover material spanning various decades. Greg's originals have a definite Caribbean influence to them, mixed with a sound similar to Jason Mraz/Zac Brown Band.

B-Man & mi-Shell, “Key West Nautical Americana” Duo are a husband and wife team who write, produce, perform and sharing their music both nationally and internationally.   In an article by “The Florida Weekly” they stated, “Their chemistry on and off stage looks perfectly natural, just like a proper rock n’ roll couple should, like Sonny and Cher or Johnny and June Cash.  Over the years, B-Man & mi-Shell have played across the country and was given the opportunity to be the opening band at the Jimmy Buffett Tailgate Party in October 2015 when Jimmy made his concert stop in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  

B-Man & mi-Shell are lovers of many musical styles from many eras and genres and their songwriting reflects these varied influences.  They call their music “Nautical Americana” style music.  Their CD “Key West Bound” actually lived up to their dream of living that Key West life and sharing their music throughout the Keys.  Their song “Sail Away” hit the Radio A1A Trop 40 Charts at #1 in April 2016 and their song “Key West Bound” was adopted by the “Conchfish Nation” as their anthem song when they all head to Key West for their annual reunion.    Since moving to Key West, they continue to perform, write and produce music.  Most recently their song “High on Island Time”, a song featuring Adrienne Z, went #1 on the Radio A1A Trop 40 Charts and their song “Drinkin’ Down in Mexico” went #1 twice (March 2019 and December 2019) on the Tropical Americana Trop 40.
