Harry George

I started writing music at 16 years old when I decided that my high school graduation project would be to write and record a record. The album was recorded in a tool shed sized studio run by former pop-punk rocker Conrad Tolosa of Ghoti Hook. The thrill of recording led to playing coffee shops and bars in my hometown to get that same rush. Who would've thought that a high school graduation project would have led me to late night gigs in smoke filled bars at 16 years old. It's funny how things just snowball from a few meaningless gigs. People really enjoyed the music I was writing a young age. This led to more shows, which led to more recording, which led to even more shows. By the time I turned 21 years old, I had a long list of shows under my belt. I had traveled up and down the east coast playing wherever anybody would have me. I've had the opportunity to share the stage with other amazing songwriters such Mason Jennings and Jeremy Enigk of Sunny Day Real Estate. My 2007 album "Distant Locks and the Laughing Clock" was distributed to a number of Border's Bookstores along the east coast and was sold heavily at every live performance. Now at 22, I live in New York City and continue to gig regularly. I'm currently in the studio working on some new tunes that should be ready to listen to soon!



While George has been compared musically to everyone from Oasis to Ben Folds to Beck, he comes across more like a James Taylor for modern times. His unadorned melodies and straightforward guitar work make his songs accessible on the first listen. No shredding, no wicked drum solos – it’s just George, his guitar and a bag full of earnest melodies.
