George Poe

George Poe has a flair for infusing familiar and beloved music from the 30's through the 80's with a fresh sensibility entirely his own.

WHY CHOOSE GEORGE POE?

His performances are much more than just a tribute to music's most enduring songs, he serves homage to a bygone era of songwriting and performing. His ability to blur the lines between the Classics, Blues,  Pop, R&B, and Jazz consistently proves to be a refreshing crowd pleaser. George transforms contemporary hit songs into classics while stylistic variations of song standards sound better than ever.

INSTRUMENTALS or VOCALS:

George Poe offers 'instrumental-only' sets of light jazz for clients who are simply looking for the elegant ambiance of a jazzy 'audio wallpaper'.But he's also right at home when the event calls for a more singer-focused performance including vocals, and more dynamic sets for dancing within a party atmosphere."

LARGE OR SMALL VENUES:

Perfect music for any size venue ranging from large corporate events (George R. Brown Convention Center, B.P. of Texas, Administaff, Grand Openings, etc.) to more intimate settings (weddings, wine tastings, rehearsal dinners, etc.). Request a bid from him today.

• I hired George Poe for a 2nd time for our 2009 Christmas luncheon for over 120 guests. I received so many comments on how successful the whole event was and how George Poe's piano and vocals added so well to our Christmas theme. I appreciate all the attention to detail George displays prior to each performance. It was top-notch and showed in the quality of his performance. George has such a large array of songs and each were performed phenomenally. He has great talent and charisma! We would hire him again. Pat W -- Patricia W, The Woodlands, TX, 12/17/2009
• George was very nice and friendly to work with. He always answered or returned our phone calls and emails. He arrived early to set up, and his piano playing was beautiful. -- Carolyn D, Spring, TX, 7/18/2009
• George was a true professional in every way. He showed up early and was completely set up for the first few guests walking in. He's extremely talented in vocals and the piano. The audience of over 100 ladies thoroughly enjoyed the luncheon because of the warm and upbeat ambiance that George added to the room and event. The Newcomers Club of The Woodlands would highly recommend George for your event. We hope to hire him back for a future gig soon. Pat Wright -- Patricia W, The Woodlands, TX, 11/19/2009
