Since 1983 Rockin' George worked with The Rockin' Shoes performing throughout New England. This was done as a light & fun project as he pursued other activities outside of the music industry. Rockin' George can often be found entertaining Boston area visitors and commuters at The MBTA and Faneuil Hall Market Place when he is not busy with other projects.

Rockin' George brings his own unique style to an eclectic mix of soulful R&B, classic blues, and spine tingling rock & roll. A singer of power and emotion, his ability to inspire an audience is legendary. At the age of 78, Rockin' George sounds better than ever. His Maine fans started calling him Rockin' George in the mid 70's and it stuck.
