He creates a environment where they can forget all of there trouble's, a place of reality peace and positivity , something they will never forget.
George was born in southern Germany in the city of Heidelberg. This city is very old and known for the world famous castle named after the city. It is located on the Neckar River directly in front of the University Of Heidelberg where Mozart studied. George's father was a sergeant in the U.S. Army stationed In Germany at that time. Later he was transferred to Fort Irwin California. George was raised in the High Desert area of southern California. A lot of his songs have been written while at the beach, which is where he spends a lot of his time.
George is blessed with the talent of playing the guitar, piano, bass, drums, and a gift to sing his songs as well. His influences are many, but Tom Petty and Bob Marley are his major influences. Newer influences include The Isley Brothers, Jack Johnson, P.O.D, Jackson Browne, Led Zeppelin and Santana. George recorded 2003's "Perfect Day" as his first solo project which consists of four tracks. This year George has been working in Fountain Valley, CA on his latest album "Running Free". The fourteen tracks consist of lots of rock with a taste of classic rock and even a pinch of hip hop.
George has been in a number of bands and has opened for bands such as Great White in 2000 and many more. Now on his own he strives to widen his audience with his style of music. While being California based he wants to take his music to the world.
George has been working with some of the best in the business and has now released of his new album " Running Free" .

In 1963, the teenage group from California, the Chantays, had one of the biggest and best instrumental surf hits, "Pipeline". Competent players who went heavy on the rumbling bass, ghostly reverb and electric keyboards, they were the epitome of the California sound that was about to strike with bands such as the Beach Boys and Jan & Dean.
