Influences
George's influences (Beatles, Pink Floyd, Yes, U2, Coldplay, Kansas, etc) proudly inform his work, from great cover arrangements, to his own songs and instrumentals. In concert, he's joined by some of the best players in the Southeast. The live show also includes great lighting and cool video pieces.

George Vinson is not cool. While that may seem to be a terrible judgement, look at the tell-tale signs of 'non-coolness'. He's old (46, just like the gauge of the low E string on his trusty Stratocaster... of course, these days if you're over 25 you are over the hill). Secondly, he's not rock star skinny (his waste size is closer to his age than to the number of years he's been playing guitar).
And while GV does an admirable job of staying up with all the cool new music (he evens likes a lot of it), his lack of standard Nashville haircut and regulation glasses (whether needed or not) only further emphasize the point.
So, considering the evidence, George is amazingly unfazed by it all. He continues to play his music all around the world, slowly and surely making new fans. But more importantly, the influence behind his muse and music is being acknowledged... one gig, one song, one person at a time.
Wow... that's almost... well... cool!
