John Hollenbeck formed GEORGE during the Covid pandemic. He brought together three great musicians/people whom he loved and admired for a long time! Their group sound is firmly planted outside any categories or labels, so good luck with that! They remotely recorded a literal Proof of Concept in March 2021 and finally met in person in January 2022 in Montreal, Canada where they recorded Letters to George, which was released on vinyl/cd/digitally on Out Of Your Head Records on January 27, 2023. On August 27th, 2023, GEORGE released short, 4 re-composed remixes based on improvisations from their 1st recording session.
