After his selection as a Kerrville New Folk Award winner in 1995, he started the much-beloved folk ‘comedy’ trio Modern Man with David Buskin and Rob Carlson, earning several music industry awards. Performing Songwriter Magazine has described George as “a welcome mix of wit, wisdom, and wonder.” The unique appeal of his songs is reflected in the number of artist songwriters who have recorded them, including Tom Paxton, The Kingston Trio, David Wilcox, and many others. His recent work with Paxton was featured on the Grammy Nominated Album Comedians and Angels. Circle Round the Sun is an acoustic/Americana band comprised of vocalists Marie Trontell* and Jay Wilensky*, Chris Bukata* and Joe Brice on guitars, and George LaVecchia on bass.
