Check out a video of this performance here!

My latest acquisition, an Eden EN-320 Nemesis 2 x 10" bass combo. When I played my '69 J-bass through it I realized that I have never owned an amp that did the instrument justice before! Looking forward to a big upgrade in my sound at performances for years to come.

What's up with George? Featured Music: "Bad Politician "

Working, writing, trying to grow as an artist and as a man. The quest never ends.

Had a lot of fun singing praises in church with Brenda and Judy, and with our church family who always give us a lot of love. Watch a Video of Us Here!

Although I've been taking a little break from performing I certainly have not been letting any grass grow under my feet. I guess the biggest news is that Tommy Vegas and I have finally released our single "Fat Teddy," OUT NOW on iTunes! It's been done for a while but we hadn't gotten around to putting it out. It's a fun Rockabilly song and we hope you like it!

Getting ready to put together a new gigging band, this time with Mike Scalzo (Pam Betti & Dirty Love) on drums, George Gashonia (Big Daddy and the Bulldogs) on guitar and Lloyd Lindberg (The New Trick Shot, New Wrecking Crew) on keys. I'm looking forward to getting back in the saddle. I will be playing a lot more standup bass with this band, which will be a lot of fun. More on this soon.

Played a benefit for the Make a Wish Foundation at Mulcahy's with my friend Dan Acosta and his Metal band, Axis Unknown. I fill in on bass occasionally as he currently has no regular bassist. We were on the bill with a lot of great bands, including Finespun and a whole host of others. It was a great day.

It's always a joy to play with Brenda and Judy, who are my adopted "sistas" as I only have brothers in my family. We played Sunrise Assisted Living singing Christmas carols, and it is always one of my favorite gigs of the year. This year it was extra special because at least 40 other people came with us from St. Luke's, including young people home from college. We had a blast and a great time was had by all!

Rock on! GG
