The best kept secret in music

"Much like Elvis Presley, who was a trucker before finding success in the music business, George Barnett was a Teamster behind the wheel before he began wowing audiences with his jazz. Barnett is a keyboard player, but it's his gruff voice and storytelling lyrics that make him unique." --Meredith Goldstein

Drop anything you're doing and discover George Barnett!
Go to georgiebarnett.com and listen to George Barnett's songs. I recommend you to start with "In the Back Room", continue with "Waltz to Oblivion" and choose "Dear Eustace" for dessert. You are now ready to listen to the rest and to wait for more from George. I know, I know, you'll tell me: it's too much Tom Waits. Don't hurry! Listen again, listen more. The second taste you'll feel shall be that of an incredible honesty, of a wild beauty hidden behind the minimalist arrangements, where every sound comes Straight from the Heart. Yeah, that's what I mean: if to compare George Barnett to someone, it's rather to Carlos Guitarlos! If to compare at all... - Midnight Special Blues Radio

"....a very unique voice.
.....the marriage between the piano and the voice is excellent.
I would enjoy sitting in a club listening to you perform."
