Czars of Leisure is the recording and musical project fronted by Greg Roth, a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist producing “thrift store rock”, which mixes the secondhand stylings of 70s power pop, 80s new wave, 90s college/slacker alternative, and 00s indie/garage rock. A former rock journalist, his music has been described as “the quirkiness of Elvis Costello, the storytelling of Tom Waits, and the alt-country styling of Wilco.” (Indie Music Stop)

Born in Bethlehem PA, now based in Alexandria VA, he has performed in 25 states and 6 countries, including such rock clubs as the State Theater (VA), DC9 (DC), Rock and Roll Hotel (DC), 8×10 (Baltimore), Khyber Pass (Philadelphia), Cafe 111 (New York City), Smith’s Olde Bar (Atlanta), McGonigle’s (Houston), Turf Club (Minneapolis), plus the occasional corporate event and professional conference.
