Greg Hambleton

Greg Hambleton is a Canadian music industry entrepreneur living in Hamilton, ON. Over the years he has been a record producer, recording engineer, songwriter and music label executive with Axe Records.

Hambleton was the recording engineer when in 1968, Canadian music icon Stompin' Tom Connors, then an aspiring country-folk singer/songwriter, recorded at Toronto's Sound Canada studio to make his debut album, Tragedy Trail, and single, Sudbury Saturday Night. Hambleton heard a loud tapping from around Connors' foot; he found a piece of plywood and had Connors stand on it as he recorded. The board became Connors' legendary trademark.

He was involved with the careers of Rain, a Kitchener pop-rock group featuring Charity Brown which had a Canadian No. 22 hit in 1971 with the Hambleton-written Out Of My Mind; Major Hoople's Boarding House, a pop-rock band that earned Canadian Top 20 in 1975 with I'm Running After You, with Hambleton's production; Gary and Dave, who had a Canadian No. 1 with Could You Ever Love Me Again; Madrigal, The Irish Rovers, Steel River, and The Stampeders.[1]
