During the 60's Houston Folk scene George was sharing songs and stages with Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark and Billy Joe Shaver. Since then he has won songwriting awards, released 15 albums in the US and Europe, been inducted into the Houston Folk Music Archives at Rice University, been awarded government grants to teach songwriting in schools and for the special needs community, and become a member of the Texas Arts Commission Touring Artists Roster. He is also an ambassador for Soldier Songs and Voices, teaching songwriting as a form of post conflict healing. Along with his robust touring schedule he writes custom songs through his PortraitSongs program, and produces albums for other Artists. He is a master fingerpicking style guitarist and includes keyboards in his shows, which are filled with old school wit and wisdom, along with poignant story songs about real people making it in the real world.
