George Usher is not a household name.  But he has been playing in
bands, writing songs producing other musicians since he hit the New
York area more than 30 years ago, including the
Decoys, Beat Rodeo, Richard Barone, Kate Jacobs, The
Schramms and Edward Rogers  George's songs work well no matter how they are arranged or
rearranged: Laura Cantrell chose George's song Not The Tremblin' Kind
to be the title cut of her debut alt country record.

George's work over the last decade has a decided power pop sheen to
it.  If you like The Byrds' brand of jangle, you'll definitely like
George.

Tonight George will play his songs on guitar and piano.  He'll probably
feature songs from his forthcoming album, Your and Not Yours, which is
due in September.  But I'm sure he'll also play some of his older songs too.  George up close and personal is always a worthwhile event.
