George Poe Band

• George Poe - Piano & Vocals
• Lee Bigelow - Percussion/Drums
• Modules - Bass / Synth Strings

"The George Poe Band has a flair for infusing familiar and beloved music from the 30's through the 80's with a fresh sensibility entirely their own. Their musical virtuosity combined with a witty stage presence consistently proves to be a refreshing crowd-pleaser. Perfect for any size venue ranging from large corporate events (George R. Brown Convention Center, Blue Bell Ice Cream, The Hobby Center, Administaff, grand openings, etc.) to more intimate settings (weddings, wine tastings, rehearsal dinners, birthdays, etc.).The fun they have is infectious; and in short order, every age young and old are won over by their musical charm.

Percussionist Lee Bigelow's disciplined but eclectic rhythms serve as an ideal backdrop to George's sophisticated, emotional blend of piano tinkling. One moment George is belting out a soulful blues vocal, then he may shift the mood to a soft heart-felt crooner ballad. Whatever the tune, the guys serve it up in a tasteful mix of danceable, singable tunes.

Incorporating a variety of styles and genres, George and Lee offer 'instrumental-only' sets of light jazz for clients who are simply looking for the elegant ambiance of a jazzy 'audio wallpaper'.

The band is also right at home when the event calls for a more band-focused performance including vocals, and more dynamic sets for dancing within a party atmosphere.

More than just a tribute to music's most enduring songs, the trio serves homage to a bygone era of songwriting and performing. They blur the lines between the classics, blues, pop, R&B, and jazz. The George Poe Band transforms contemporary hit songs into classics while stylistic variations of song standards sound better than ever."

• These guys are outstanding! They must be Houston's best kept secret when it comes to local jazz talent. By reading other reviews we expected them to be 1st rate musicianship/professionalism, but what surprised me is how much fun they brought to our event. They found a way to include everyone. The highlight of the night was when the group took a request to play ‘Theme from New York, New York’. They hammed it up in a way that would have made Sinatra proud. We enjoyed them so much we asked them to play for us at a different venue the following night in The Woodlands and were equally pleased. They’re on our short list of top-notch entertainment. Thanks George Poe Trio! -- John B, Houston, TX, 6/23/2010
• The George Poe Band played during our holiday party. Everyone really enjoyed the music and the way they spruced up are raffle by adding some fun drum beats. We will def. use them again. -- Deanna H, San Antonio, TX, 12/10/2010
• Thanks to George, Lee, and Steve (GP3) for all of the fun you brought to our reception. All of our guests have had very favorable things to say about how you guys really set an exciting and welcoming atomosphere for dancing. The best part is that you found a way to play such a variety of songs so there was something for everyone without it being 'old fogy' or too modern for the grandparents. Perfect, Perfect, Perfect!!!

• George Poe Trio played at our private venue and our members loved it. We have had bands that are too overpowering and after discussing this with George, he made absolutely certain that they did not. He lived up to it, too! We will definitely have them back. They contributed to making the evening a success. -- Angela J, Hitchcock, TX, 11/9/2007
• We had great communication before the event. George Poe suggested a song I could sing with the band which was a great idea and went off just fine. The band played at a volume which was perfect for the ball room. They played a fine variety of songs which covered the wide span of ages attending the function. Everyone I communicated with told me how much they enjoyed the music. Finally, I highly recommend the George Poe Trio as a great addition to any function.
