Denise Ludington and Greg Torres are the musical duo, Bagby Station.

Denise Ludington, the songwriter of the duo and originator of the group, Bagby Station, has been distracted with creating lyrics and tunes since childhood.  Her musical background stems from piano lessons, band classes, and music workshops throughout her upbringing.   She was exposed to a wide variety of music throughout her life and enjoys the history of music and the root sounds.

Her inspirations for songwriting comes from the observations of life’s journeys, a sense of place no matter the place, and relationships of all kinds.  Being a California girl, her lyrics emit the essence of California landscape.  She is the vocalist, guitarist, and mandolin player in the duo.

Greg Torres, the bass player of the duo, is a key part of shaping their musical arrangements.  His originality and creativity in composition and improvisation help to give their songs a unique quality.

Greg started taking guitar lessons in 5th grade and picked up the bass guitar in high school when a band was looking for a bass player.  He took up the upright bass in college and never wanted to play electric bass again.  As for musical influences, he listens to pretty much everything, from Jazz and Blues to Heavy Metal (the heavier the better), and everything in between.  In his words, “there’s far too much good music out there to limit yourself to one style.”
