George Michael
was born quite a few years prior to Lyndon
Heart's emergence into Second Life and, in
fact, before "that other George Michael
across the pond" who can't seem to keep
himself out of trouble.
For George, it all started with simple
Midwest garage bands -- kicking up the amps
with friends and making the neighbors riot
in his native South Chicago. But even in
those green days, he had the indelible mark
of music inscribed upon his heart and soul.
Over the last three decades, George has
amassed a repertoire and garnered the kind
of experience that makes most musicians
salivate in envy. Freely exploring his
profession, he has engaged the battlefields
of music scenes from Colorado to California
to Florida before putting down roots within
his current homebase of Seattle. Vamping on
everything from Van Halen to Van Morrison on
guitar, vocals, and the rare mandolin,
George’s focus has been on making music - great
music – and he’s loved every minute of it.
With a vocal style that spans a diverse
range of airy-textured ballads, roaring,
gritty-edged power rock, reinterpretations
of contemporary hits, and avant-garde indie
lesser-knowns, George likes to think his
music runs the gamut. As such, his guitar
method evolves, incorporates and keeps pace
by embracing a range of techniques from
intricate open-tuned finger picking and
gentle slides to crunchy blues riffs and
experimental funk.
He has collaborated and contributed to over
40 US recordings and shared stages with
performers such as Shania Twain, Brooks &
Dunne, Tanya Tucker and Dan Seals as well as
The Average White Band and Loudin Wairight
III.
Currently, George works a day job, teaches
guitar, writes songs, plays live music with
Seattle-based Shadrack Band and Tweety And
The Tomcats, and torments his friends and
family by remaining the world’s most
insufferable coffee snob. |
