60 years of sharing the blues....

 

 

 

Steve E. George brings to the stage a taste  of  old-fashioned showmanship.  He hopes that his humor and love of  life are reflected in his performances.  Steve’s passion for singing took root in the Baptist Church from which he was inspired as a child.  

 

A veteran of the Des Moines, IA music  scene,  Steve  performed in clubs on the legendary  Center Street  and other  popular venues  in  Des Moines at (and before!) the age  of 18.   In the 70’s he became front man for the band Antelon, a jazz/funk horn band who enjoyed much recognition in the Midwest and recorded several original tunes. 

 

Over the years,  Steve has been invited to sing the blues  at Chicago’s  House  of  Blues,  Buddy Guy's Legends, Kingston Mines,  Blues Etc.,  and Blues On Clark.  In addition to performing in the Midwest, Steve has connected with audiences in Hawaii,  Nashville,  Las Vegas,  Memphis,  Atlanta, and Florida. 

 

In 2005,  Steve was inducted into  the  Iowa  Blues  Hall of Fame for, to date, 60 years of keeping the blues alive.

At age 76, his passion to entertain, often termed by him as  “my golf  game”,  continues to thrive .  He  considers the many people he has met and friends he has made through his music to be a wonderful blessing.
