George Michael                                                                         acoustic guitar, mandolin and vocals

 

 

 

 

For George, it all started with simple Midwest garage bands -- kicking up the amps with friends and making the neighbors riot in his native South Chicago. But even in those green days, he had the indelible mark of music inscribed upon his heart and soul. Over the years, George has amassed a repertoire and garnered the kind of experience that leave most musicians in envy. Freely exploring his profession, he has engaged the battlefields of music scenes from Colorado to California to Florida before putting down roots within his current home base of Seattle. Vamping on everything from Van Halen to Van Morrison on guitar, vocals, and the rare mandolin, George's focus has been on making music - great music – and he's loved every minute of it.

With a vocal style that spans a diverse range of airy-textured ballads, roaring, gritty-edged power rock, reinterpretations of contemporary hits, and avant-garde indie lesser-knowns, George likes to think his music runs the gamut. As such, his guitar method evolves, incorporates and keeps pace by embracing a range of techniques from intricate open-tuned finger picking and gentle slides to crunchy blues riffs and experimental funk.

He has collaborated and contributed to over 40 US recordings and shared stages with performers such as Shania Twain, Brooks & Dunne, Tanya Tucker and Dan Seals as well as The Average White Band and Loudin Wairight III.
