"THE MAN"
Since 1963 Blues Legend Rockin' George has been a fixture of the New England and Washington D.C. area music scenes. Rockin' George was a member of The J. Geils Blues Band (1967), Swallow (1968-1973), Skyhook (1973-1975), Powerhouse (1975-1977), and The Thrillers (1978-1981). From 1982-1983 Rockin' George appeared at Sandy's Jazz Revival in Beverly, MA as the club's opening act (keyboard and vocals). From 1983 to 2003 Rockin' George worked with the Rockin' Shoes performing throughtout New England. This was done as a light & fun project as he pursued other activities outside of the music industry. Rockin' George is presently backed by a five piece band. Rockin' George also appears on some Sunday evenings at the Grogg in Newburyport, MA with his good friend Parker Wheeler (Swallow). Rockin' George brings his own unique style to an eclectic mix of classic blues, soulful R&B, and spine tingling rock n' roll. A singer of power and emotion, his ability to inspire an audience is legendary.
Rockin' George has shared the stage with many great artists over the years including: Jimi Hendrix, John Mayall, Joe Cocker, Grand Funk Railroad, Bob Seger, Janis Joplin, Alice Cooper, The James Gang, Albert King, James Cotton, Joe Turner, Taj Mahall, James Montgomery, Big Mama Thornton, Sonny Terry, Brownie Mcghee, Johnny Copeland, Joanna Connor, Roomful of Blues, and Ronnie Earl. |
