Papa George

about

Internationally acclaimed bluesman Papa George is admired on the club scene as an extremely well respected musician. Over 35 years he has forged a reputation for stunning performances on the blues circuits and festivals, “Highly regarded, both here and in the US, and Europe, for the gritty passion of his voice and his finesse on the blues frets…” Paul Jones BBC Radio2. Recognised as one of the top guitarists and vocalists and described by THE TIMES as “a mean axeman”, he captivates audiences playing Fender Stratocaster, or bottleneck blues-style on Amistar and National Steel guitars, with a passionate vocal style delivered with absolute conviction. In March 2007, at the Musik Messe, Frankfurt, “Amistar – fine resophonic guitars” presented the maestro with a beautifully engraved, “PAPA GEORGE CUSTOM” Vintage Model, which he also showcased at The London Guitar Show. “Papa George is charaterised by steel guitars or Fender Strats. His deep, great smoky voice is a mixture of honeyed molasses and Tennessee sourmash whiskey.” The Papa George Band has built up a solid reputation for their great musicianship. They mainly use original material and their improvisational skills are second to none. Several tracks from their “DOWN AT THE STATION” CD have gained recognition: Blackjack Finalist in International Songwriting Competition (ISC) & achieved Honorary Mention Blues With A Feelin’ Part of soundtrack for movie “World Without Waves”, which won a Milagro
