Steve E. George brings to the stage a taste of old-fashioned showmanship! His passion and endless love of singing took root in the Baptist Church from which he was inspired as a child. Steve recalls, "In the living room mirror, I would continue the Sunday Church service, imagining that I was leading the congregation in a soulful hymn. Actually, I was too shy to sing at church."
A veteran of the Des
Moines music scene, Steve performed in clubs on the legendary Center Street
of Des Moines at and before age 18.
In the 70’s he became front man for the band Antelon, a jazz/funk
horn band who enjoyed much recognition in the Midwest and recorded several
original tunes. In recent
years, Steve has been invited to sing with blues groups at Chicago’s House
of Blue
In 2005, Steve was inducted into the Iowa Blues Hall of Fame for 40 years
of keeping the blues alive.
Steve's ceaseless energy, humor, and love of life are key to his popularity and large fan base.
