GEOrge Hunter
George Hunter born September 21st 1953 started singing in the church choir in the San Francisco Bay Area. Growing up in the bay and playing in several local bands started me on a voyage that has now taken me to the heights of completing my self entitled CD George.
I've always love performing and touring, and doing studio work but what has given me joy the last 21 years has been the joy of raising my family. Now that they are raised, I’m ready to give the world some music that you will enjoy. 2007 look out!

I really love writing and singing songs that have some meaning. Composing most of my songs have been a pleasure being able to write all tracks here in the San Francisco Bay Area. While playing bass and drums with various bands vocals are the primary source of talent. But the experiences of those instruments have helped me considerably in the studio. Mr Eddie J. Martin has played a remarkable roll in the development in my vocal stylings with his incredible keyboard talent and his ingenuity with his engineering skills/ Kool Katz Studios, Antioch CA.
