George (Geo) Leinen (Guitar)
“I picked up my first guitar at age 14, once I plugged it in there was no turning back. Fortunately for me at my young and impressionable age I had the opportunity to be tutored by an accomplished local guitarist, that guitar player eventually became one of my closest friends and although unfortunately he has long since passed away, his many influences still course through my fingers to this very day. At age 18 I joined the Army. Upon my arrival in Germany I met some fellow musicians. We formed a band and toured around Europe with the USO for about 2-years, experiencing many things along the way, all of which have been a benefit to me as a musician. When I came back to the States I re-acquainted myself with old friends and soon thereafter became knee deep in the local music scene, I played in various bands, and worked with a lot of talented musicians. After all the years and everything that life puts us through, ultimately I feel lucky to say that I am still continuing to do what I love and that is playing guitar and performing along side other great musicians/friends.” |
