George McClure learned Western swing in Arizona bars and clubs while playing banjo and bass for a living. He quit his day job at age 21-22 after graduating University of Arizona. Trained in classical, he quickly absorbed bluegrass, jazz, and roots Southwest border music. "We couldn't get off the stage
without playing a few Bob Wills and Texas swing numbers", George says. "And we had a guy in our band who grooved on all the swing. The complex
chords and structures thrilled me. Later, in North Carolina, an old black bluesman showed me a couple blues chords on guitar. I figured everything out from that."
George worked his first studio sessions doing radio spots in Sun Studios, Tucson AZ in 1978. With sessions numbering over a thousand, McClure previously worked at studios in Charlotte NC, and in Nashville studios exclusively since 1991. (See Credits)
McClure has transcribed Vivaldi, Mozart, and Bach for acoustic ensembles, and is the writer of "The Ballad of O.J. Simpson", featured in the Nashville Tennessean and on TNN Nashville Network TV. A prolific writer, George is the author of a musical, two books, and music ranging from jazz and neo-classical through gospel, Latin romantico, and country. He holds degrees from three universities and is a former space scientist, NASA Houston.
McClure is also a published poet and author. He is author of "Variations on Theme" (c.1980 S.G.Miller), the 5-string banjo improvisation manual, "Iridescent Poppies And Lollipop Mommies", and "The Green Grass Of Indiana", a musical.
George McClure's influences and musical styles are diverse and his understanding of the many idioms he explores, deep. John Steinbeck's writings had a
profound effect early in his life along with visionaries like Salvador Dali and M.C. Escher. Selena, Haggard, Santana, Ray Charles, and thousands continue to
enthuse George. But don't typecast him or his work, he will surely disappoint you if you do.
