G-4ORCE came about with the release of my first CD in
1999. The band is still evolving, consistently changing
and will be forever improving. G-Force is an R&B/Funk
band that covers a wide variety of music from Stevie
Wonder to Christopher Cross, from the Temptations to ZZ
Hill, from the commodores to the Beatles. A little about
George... I started playing trumpet and piano at age
eleven; I played in Junior High and High School the
first five years and then quit school to play in
nightclubs. I have been in the music business for 26
years and studied under jazz legend and master trumpeter
Maynard Furgeson. I front for the band on trumpet and
vocals; and released my fifth CD in January of this
year. I have been lead singer for several funk bands
over the years. In 1974, I was in a successful band for
almost two years but the band dissolved due to poor
management, five months later I joined the US Navy. Then
returned from California and went back to playing in the
local nightclubs right away. I enrolled in the Kansas
City Community College, graduating with a major in
music. In 1987, I moved to Kansas City, Missouri and
discovered the place called Westport where I could play
my music seven days a week. I stared with a blues band
in 1988 and ended up traveling on the road for the
following two and a half years. From 1991 until 1997, I
played with a number of different bands and did quite a
bit of recording. After a number of failed attempts at
trying to make it happen with other musicians, I decided
to go solo. In 1999, with the advancement of technology
I was able to put a CD together and go Hi-Tech. Thank
God for the information age. "May the G-4ORCE be with
you always" G-4ORCE |
