George plays keyboard, guitar, harmonica and also sings. The son of a Hammond B3 organ salesman, George got his musical start very early in life. As a child he would entertain the audience during intermission in the local theater by playing the organ.
He became active with Dueling Pianos at JD’s Key Club in Pontiac, MI. He quickly fell in love with the concept and continues to be busy performing dueling pianos abroad to this day.
For anyone who has never experienced Dueling Pianos, it is an interactive, request-driven voyage of sing-along and comedy. Music from numerous decades is performed via audience request and the audience is encouraged to take part in the show at every opportunity.
No dueling pianos player has a electric combination of putting the audience first with lightning-fast piano solos like George. He’ll pull you in with his contagious smile, and then blow you away with his playing! George offers a Christian Show too!
George has produced five compact disc recordings. The first, entitled “The Seed” was completed in 1994 and was recorded in less than two hours. “The Seed” was picked up by major retailers in Michigan, including Harmony House, prompting some local success. George’s second effort, “Rhythm,” released in 1998, is comprised mostly of original music with instrumentation including the Hammond B3, drums, bass, guitar and piano.
His love of the dueling pianos concept also began in 1998 at JD’s Key Club in Pontiac, MI and continues to this day. You can see George at select Dueling Pianos clubs – just click on “show dates” on his web page for a complete schedule.
With the release of his fifth CD, “Back to the B3” George hopes to put his music into more hands than ever, using the internet medium to deliver his creations. “Back to the B3” will be available soon from online retailers such as iTunes, or you can order directly from this website.

REVIEWS
Hello Dean,
Our Corporate Holiday Party at The EMU Union Grand Ballroom Ypsilanti was great! We had nothing but positive feedback on George and Michael. They were able to get people engaged and then played music after their performance for people to dance, which they did. They both did an excellent job and we were very pleased with their stage presence. LOVE LOVED them! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
