Band Bio: Who is GEORGE LUCAS?
If a definition were written for Webster's Dictionary, it might look like this:
George Lucas (noun); country music artist rooted in traditional country music and 1970's arena rock; known for energetic, explosive, family-friendly performances.
George is defined by music. It is a very important part of who he is.
"When I was little, mom and dad listened to our hometown radio station. They played the greats like Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, George Jones and Johnny Cash. Even Elvis! It was the soundtrack to my life!"
George, an only child, often spent time by himself and found a close friend in music.
"The first records I remember listening to were The Beatles, Monkees, Jackson 5 and, perhaps my biggest early influence, The Partridge Family! I used to play along with my toy guitar and wonder what it would be like to be Keith Partridge!"
"As I got older, I started listening to KISS, Queen, Aerosmith, Journey, Night Ranger and the other big arena rock bands. When I started taking guitar lessons, I told my teacher to forget 'Mary Had A Little Lamb.' Teach me 'Cat Scratch Fever!'"
The next step was to form a band.
"I played in bands that never left the garage! When I actually played in front of people, I loved it!"
College and a career came next. Not surprisingly, both involved music.
"I went to college to be a radio broadcaster. I spent most of my life on the radio. It was a great living and led me to try and make music for other DJ's to play!"
Building on the release of a CD of his own music and an expanding fan base, George plans to continue to, as he says, "spread the Gospel according to George!"
"We have moved beyond Pennsylvania and have traveled to Maryland, New York, West Virginia and South Carolina. I have also played in Tennessee, Indiana, Texas and Kentucky. As I see it, we have 41 states to go!"
