George Grosman
Born in Prague, the city of a hundred spires. Has lived and played music on three continents, specifically in Canada, Iceland, the UK, Israel and the Czech Republic. Educated at the Guildhall School of Music in London (classical guitar and composition) and the University of Essex (M.A. in Literature and Linguistics), George played with the Middle East Blues Band in Tel Aviv, Israel, with the chart topping group Kandis in Reykjavik, Iceland and has now been performing, writing, singing and producing music in Toronto, Ontario, Canada for the last couple of decades.
George performs solo, playing guitar and singing tunes from the Classic American Songbook, as well as performing similar material with his trio. Additionally, he is very active with his main band, Bohemian Swing, which combines elements of swing, gypsy jazz and klezmer music. Music on the Corner - another project of George's - performs mainly for the Czechoslovakian community across Canada.
Over the last ten years or so, George has recorded and produced various CD's - both his own and for other artists. The discs are for sale on CD Baby or can be ordered directly through this website.

This is a tune I wrote in the fall of 2008. I recorded it in my office, having programmed the drums and keys on my Yamaha keyboard which can be heard in the background. A bridge was added after I had already taped the tune; it doesn't appear in this version. I got a huge kick out of playing this guitar which was brand new at the time.
