George Birchall
Just take one listen to George Birchall, and you'll know you've found someone different. After years of honing his songwriting skills, Birchall is stepping into the spotlight with his debut album "Restless Soul". Each song is a work unto itself that swells and cowers, rocks and rolls, and that inevitably leads you to some place mystical - somewhere youve never been before.
Georges life has taken him from his home in the Ottawa Valley to coffeehouses in Toronto, to South East Asia where inspiration came by the boatload, to living in a self sufficient cabin deep in the woods. George writes about the world around him, the dark winter nights, the frozen water pipes, and of the people who have drifted in and out of his life.
Stepping into the consciousness of people who like good music and away from the average block-buster-bore, Restless Soul is a rootsy folk-pop collection of Canadiana that shifts gears from up tempo campfire sing-alongs like Down for the Count and Television to the Tom Waits-ish ballad, Chopping Wood.
From the stages of the world, to the CD players of your living room; You are drawn in by his words. But it is his voice that wins you over
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, we play live. Performances can be solo shows or the full plugged in version as well. Currently, we play anywhere we can (well, almost), and enjoy every part of it!
