BIO: George is a family man from Nova Scotia, Canada. He and his
wife, who he met while doing a show in his hometown, have two children,
Kale and Madison. George was formerly a Peace Officer in Nova Scotia to
help support his musical career. He has been singing since he was four,
and now plays the acoustic, electric, and bass guitars, as well as the
keyboards, harmonica, dobro, mandolin, and even a little bit of pedal
steel.
He has been performing professionally for about 14 years, writes his own
songs, and co-owns his own recording studio. His biggest musical influences
are Elvis Presley, Keith Whitley, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Randy
Travis, George Strait, Johnny Cash, Charlie Pride, and Merle Haggard.
His biggest claim to fame (until now!) is that he is often mistaken for
New York Ranger Mark Messier.
PERSONAL STATEMENT: "I am a huge fan of tradition, in both my life
and my music. I allow different musical styles to influence my writing,
but always find comfort in singing an old country classic. And every day
I thank the Lord for mentors like Cash and Jennings and those who have
walked the road before them."
