It is hard to narrow George Christiansen's music down to just one particular category. It defies easy labeling while at the same time having a familiar quality to it. A soulful voice mixes with intricate guitar playing and interesting word play to create a song catalog that is varied without being schizophrenic. His songs reveal an original perspective while at the same time making you feel like you can relate.

While never actually taking formal lessons, George is a life long student and lover of music. Growing up the air was filled with the sounds of everything from the Beatles, Van Halen, Michael Jackson and the Bee Gees. He spent his high school years learning to play bass and to sing to the music of Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Guitar was an afterthought. After years of traveling around working construction it became all too apparent that playing in a local band and moving every couple of months didn't mix well. Having no intentions of permanently settling down just yet, George reluctantly switched to playing guitar.

Comparisons to other artists have range from Van Morrison to Dave Matthews, from James Taylor to Jack Johnson, form Bruce Cockburn to Martin Sexton. It seems listeners can always find someone to compare George's songs to and yet not find an influence that truly defines them.
