George Robertson performs rock, rockabilly, boogie blues, folk rock, rock & roll, country rock and classic country mixed with originals straight from the heart. His guitar style is unique and he has clearly added his own riffs that are influenced by Luther Perkins, Carl Perkins and Chuck Berry. Remember the Rockabilly style when it was sultry, fat, and clear like the sound of the Sun Studio musicians in Memphis. He plays hours of originals that capture moods and feelings or just let it out! His music has a smooth rhythm with clear vocals that reflect a strong delta influence connecting somewhere between Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Ricky Nelson. As his vocal range continues to increase some listeners suggest influence of Roy Orbison. George says he is happy to enjoy music. His hope is to give back the love that he receives and for everyone to experience the energy and and freedom that is the gift inside each and every one of us.
