I must admit that I’m hooked. And although I’ve heard that ‘pain is love’, George, I blame you for this pain in my ears; the pain that comes from having my headphones jammed in there at 1:56am just to hear your album. - Indiemunity.com - Siohban Chapman

These emotions and relationships are those that could not easily be made up, and because of that Heartbeat reads like a continuous story. Woods puts his experiences and sentiment on the line with this album, and it seems that he has done so with a genuinely honest flair. - Good Vibes Music reviews

George Woods’ new Album “Technicolor Costs Too Much” will rose-tint your world. The music is fun, funky and full of a personality that picks you up, and reminds you of what it’s like to know a truly good person. With lyrics that are as much of a story as the music the couches them, the tracks on “Technicolor” segue from one to the next in a sequence that allows for awesome listening whether you be by yourself or in a chill group setting. The songs aren’t just music, they’re company. Technicolor has all the depth of a happy-go-lucky friend: willing to lend an ear, have an ear lent, and on an evening when you might be feeling down, give you a fleeting wiff of what it’s like to be in love. - Ibba Armancas

Bio
With a classic touch like James Morrison, the folky heart of Ray LaMontagne, and a unique melodic adventurousness, George Woods creates his own signature style of Folk-Funk.
George Woods effervescent lyrics and lighthearted indie folk sounds shine through on his new full-length studio album, Heartbeat which drops Summer 2012 in Boston, MA and online. Heartbeat features thirteen interwoven tracks, each blending classic grooves with stellar songwriting to guide the listener through a storybook summer soundtrack. The record aims to be relatable, and keep you moving with lush string arrangements, heart felt lyrics, and solid grooving rhythms. Some highlights are tracks like the laughable danceable "Stock In The Stars," or the gospel inspired powerhouse "Marry Me.
Georges solo project began after the dissolution of his group Birds In The Woods, a Boston based band that won the 2008 Boston Music Festival, received radio spins at home and abroad, and saw placement in national publications such as Relix Magazine. His first solo EP, Technicolor Costs Too Much, released in Summer 2011, was self produced in a makeshift bedroom studio, and put together by hand with a one of a kind packaging. The record was well received by audiences across the northeast and online.
With a tongue in cheek audience rapport, and an energetic stage presence, George's live performances attract wide spread audiences from across Massachusetts. After recording Heartbeat at Phase 1 Studios in New York City this past spring, and sharpening his funky sound, George is gearing up for a new fall tour aiming toward introducing his folk-funk sound to all. The tour will help to expand Georges audience throughout the northeast and beyond with the help of some outside the box promotional strategies to leave audiences with great stories to tell and a sing-all-day hook on their lips.
With a tight and engaging live show, stellar songwriting, and a personalized but lovable sound, George Woods new record Heartbeat is sure to capture the hearts and ears of music fans across the country.
