Indie-Folk muso joined by a subtly explosive and peculiarly adventurous band of beautiful, sensitive, and thrashing men.
Ian George delivers the sort of concert you’ll likely dance, sway, sing, laugh and probably cry too. The performance teems with whimsicality, clever arrangements - interrupted by triumphant tangents - and outlandish solos grounded by George’s emotive and gauzy voice and by the simple strength of a good song. Expect an engaging and dynamic haul of gentle and not so gentle folk-rock adventures.
“Weirdly beautiful.” ~ The Current (MPR)
“Ian George is a fanciful folk troubadour with a rhythmic flow and spirited vision. He’s an American Matt Corby; a heartwarming blend of Iron & Wine’s folk and Vampire Weekend’s frisky energy. George’s music is the type to which one would ascribe words like frolic and wandering, but his songs are equally intimate and emotional... Worthy of everyone’s ears, songs we can teach our children, our parents, our grandparents, and ourselves.” ~ Atwood Magazine
“Effulgent eclecticism on display in the forthcoming album. George's forward-looking new offering is a subtle explosion of vibrant colors that delight.” ~PopMatters
“Poetic, lush, and cautious songs that will resonate with anyone in transition. Despite the eight tunes defying comparison, each song here is a treasure.” ~ New Noise Magazine
“There’s a gauzy float to George’s voice that calls up John Martyn.” ~ RnR Magazine
"Really engrossing, atmospheric music that feels a little different to anything else about." ~ FOLK ROOM RECORDS
“passionate, purposeful and relatable” ~ Concert Communicator
“Tolkien like ramblings and adventurous instrumentation; weirdly inviting.” ~ Maverick Magazine
