GENIE 9:00 PM
The Genie is a performing artist and guitar innovator from San Francisco. Sponsored by the Line6 production company, he is the creator of a unique live-looping method called ‘scratch guitar’ as well as a unique brand of live-remixing called ‘g-mixing’. Bringing together a hybrid of genres, including jazz, dubstep, latin, reggae, hip hop, blues, middle-eastern, Indian and electronica, he utilizes unconventional slide techniques while manipulating knobs on his pedals with his toes.GEORGE STANFORD 10:00 PM
With the demons of rock and roll calling his name louder than ever, and a new understanding of his own musical voice, George left his home, family, and job at the laundromat for the bright lights of Los Angeles, to record a batch of new tunes. Within weeks of getting to the big city, he signed a recording contract with Epic Records. After a little shake up in early 2007, George moved to Mercury Records and became the first artist on the revived classic label. His debut record, ‘Big Drop’ was released in June 2008. Billboard magazine called it “a promising debut from a serious talent.” He has since rejoined the ranks of independent musicians, and lives in Hollywood, CA, recording and producing his and other artists’ music. His latest release is the 5 song EP, ‘Roll Away.’ Available on iTunes now!
