Greg Ericksen

Gregory Scott Ericksen is an American composer, singer, songwriter, musician, artist, attorney, producer, and developer. While he has practiced law for more than 40 years, his lifelong passion has been music.

Ericksen began writing original songs at the age of 12, when he formed a band while attending South Davis Junior High School in Bountiful, Utah. The group, a folk ensemble called Four/Fifths, featured Ericksen on guitar alongside vocalists Mike Alder, Marvin Ellis, and Martha Smith. They performed on several local television programs, including Terry Williams Hi Shop in Salt Lake City and the March 29, 1963 broadcast of the Eugene Jelesnik Talent Showcase, affiliated with The Ted Mack Original Amateur Hour. The group also placed as top finalists in multiple local and regional talent competitions.

At 17, Ericksen wrote his first hit song, The Darkness and the Night, released on SVN Records. By 1968, the song was climbing regional charts and drew interest from major labels including Columbia Records, Liberty Records, and Reprise Records.

He is also known for writing Light Up the Land, created for the 2002 Utah Winter Olympic Games. Ericksen served as both contributor and executive producer on the accompanying inspirational album, which featured artists such as Gladys Knight, Donny Osmond, Marie Osmond, and Brooks & Dunn. The title track, performed by Jenny Jordan, has since been covered by multiple artists, earning nine music film festival awards across various arrangements and appearing on the PBS documentary Sweetwater Rescue: The Willie and Martin Handcart Story.

In more recent years, Ericksen wrote Life Goes On following the tragic loss of his youngest son, Adam Ericksen, who died in a rafting accident on the Colorado River in 2015.

During the 1960s, Ericksen wrote more than 50 original songs, many of which were recorded but not released at the time. As a member of The Grimm, he has contributed to five completed albums.
