vocals
George spent years honing his craft
as a singer and songwriter in the band the Surrealtors with
his brother. His maturity as a vocalist really began to emerge
after he left the Surrealtors and began writing and recording
in the years between that band and the formation of orange
is in.
With a big, ranging voice, George brings an intensity with
his voice that is instantly recognizable. Sara Cress of the
Houston Chronicle compared his "gravel-throated" voice to one
of George's musical heroes, Bruce Springsteen.
In addition to his vocal duties, George is an accomplished
songwriter and lyricist. He and Jeff spent many years as songwriting
partners prior to the formation of the band and, now, he continues
to share those responsibilities with Jeff and Chris.
A powerhouse performer, George rips through material with
the energy of a rock singer and the deft touch of a pop songwriter. |
