GEORGE GRIFFIN's Blurbs |
About me:
B I O G R A P H Y--
Encased within the stocky frame of this incredibly talented man is all the power, drive and guts that Americans have come to call "SOUL." His involvement with life is obviously immediate and the depth of his feeling is, at once, astounding and exciting! The force that flows from him, so openly, places him in the eyes of all his followers as one of the top singers and drummers around.
GEORGE GRIFFIN'S interest in music began at the age of five in his native New Orleans, the jazz capitol of the world. At the age of sixteen he made his professional debut with the Dave Lewis Combo as a drummer and featured singer in Seattle, Washington.
Since 1961, GEORGE has worked with such well known musical stars as Ray Charles, Lionel Hampton, Jimmy Witherspoon, Jr. Walker and the All Stars, Etta James, Sammy Davis, Jr., . . . and the list goes on.
His affection for music is uniquely personalized. He is the best of the male rock/blues artists. GEORGE'S sound is that of a master jazz vocalist. The quality of his voice enables him to transcend the lyrics and the traditional character associated with such originally spirited tunes as "Big Boss Man," "Down Home Blues," "The Thrill is Gone" . . . turning them into astonishing, compelling expressions of pain and desperation as so sensually unveiled in his performance of "I've Been Loving You Too Long."
Hearing GEORGE perform makes an evening complete--he displays a tremendous amount of energy and yet a compelling sensitivity, as well.
Through his many vocal renditions of jazz favorites, ballads and original compositions, he simultaneously keeps the rhythm going for the group. Still, GEORGE has a way of delivering a song that keeps the listener constantly aware of the context and the message the song is trying to deliver. To sing a song as it's supposed to be sung and play the trap drums at the same time is a difficult feat, but GEORGE pulls it off exceptionally well.
GEORGE GENTRE GRIFFIN knows ALL the licks . . . i.e. he can be as sophisticated as the best music players from the big city, but underneath it all is New Orleans--where his genius was born; and where he learned the blues and what "SOUL" means.
Therein lies the charm of GEORGE GRIFFIN . . . country roots and city wisdom . . . a thorough nature and a gentle humor . . . a gift for music and an urge to make it soft and lazy, romantic and happy, fierce and dynamic!
