THE EARLY SHOW WITH GEORGE KATSOS

George Katsos is an adult contemporary musician from Alexandria, Virginia. In the 1980s George attended the last night jam at the famous Cambridge Music Complex outside Boston the night before it was demolished. Local performers and members of groups such as Boston, Aerosmith, The Cars, and The J. Geils Band previously practiced there. The intrigue piqued George's interest
in becoming a live musician. In 1988 his band was selected for regional college level exposure by MTV. A few years later one of his original compositions “Johnny Save The World” was recorded as a self-distributed 7-inch vinyl record distributed nationally to college radio and highlighted by Billboard Magazine’s Larry Flick as ’Choice of the Week’ reviewed along with Radiohead, Stone Temple Pilots, Jewel, and Led Zeppelin. Efforts that followed led to another 7-inch single “Commitment” turned video that was shown nationally on the Fox Cable Network that Conan O’Brien remembered in a Boston suburb Irish pub encounter. A few years later George voluntarily removed himself from the music scene. Out of reverence to the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and approaching a 20-year musical hiatus, George paid homage to Liverpool, England with his wife and daughter during Beatlemania. Upon returning home he developed songs that ended up as independent short play releases. George as a solo acoustic artist performs original songs and covers from the last century at wineries, vineyards, breweries, restaurants, and listening room open mics in the local Northern Virginia (NOVA) and Washington DC (DMV) area. In 2024, George’s song "The Fighter" received a video category honorable mention in the 41st Annual Mid-Atlantic Song Contest hosted by the Songwriters' Association of Washington and was highly commended in the UK’s Songwriting Contest adult contemporary category. Look for George at the aforementioned venues in 2025 to promote his fifth short play
release “EP5”.
