   Formed in the 1950’s as a result of being born into the same family, the George Brothers took full advantage of the cultural explosion of the 1960’s and decided early on that the musical world was big enough for the three of them. Armed with a musical pedigree which

they inherited from their father, who as a big band/swing musician had shared the stage with Benny Goodman and toured with Kate Smith, it was only a matter of time before they discovered their chops and began putting their heritage to the test.

   It was Bobby who first began to spread his wings and chance a leap from the nest. A Christmas gift of a Harmony Rocket guitar was all it took for him to hang up his baseball glove and embark on what he soon realized was his true calling.  Immediate

success on the teen club circuit (including some television appearances) validated his choice and gave him all the incentive he needed to further pursue his dreams.

   Like many people of Italian ancestry, David tends to talk with his hands. The only difference is that his hands are holding drumsticks. Emulating his heroes soon led to the development of his own style, which is an infusion of their influence coupled with his own methodology. David is a meat and potatoes man. He is also a meat and potatoes drummer. Rock solid and to the point.  

   Waiting in the wings for his chance to shine was Barry. Even though he was always drawn to the piano, the logical choice would be for him to play bass. Lucky for them he took to it like a moth to a flame. Driving the groove has become his trademark, and the groove has become the signature of the George Brother’s sound.

   Not to mention that between Bobby and Barry the vocals are world class. Although their vocal styles are diverse, their delivery contains one common element-STRENGTH !

   Throughout the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s the George Brothers enjoyed success both together and with separate musical ventures, and the list of bands with which they have performed is quite impressive, albeit too numerous to mention. But take note that many times when a famous artist comes to town and needs a band to back them up, they know who to call. Although they have been playing together for many years, those who are in the know feel that the George Brothers are just beginning to hit their stride. The blistering guitar work, along with the thunderous bass that drives the pounding beat, have transformed their performances into a display of sheer talent, versatility, and authenticity. It’s almost as if it’s become second nature to them.  Sit back and watch the sparks fly and you will be amazed at what you see and hear.
