Born and raised on a lake in Minnesota, Ian George’s musical expression (both on and off the stage) reflects the ephemeral seasonal landscapes he was bred in.  

After a handful of years leading a grass-roots activist group and running an off-grid cannabis farm in rural Oregon, George founded and led a string of bands (some including members of Billy Strings and Caleb Klauder Band); touring extensively through the US, Canada, and Europe and gracing some of the western world's most beloved festivals and venues with Patchy Sanders and then Fellow Pynins. In the summer of 2018 Ian performed his debut solo set at the Cambridge Folk Festival in Cambridge, England. In 2019, Ian released his debut solo album Kingdom of My Youth - recorded in Paris, France at famed Labo M Studios with French pop icon Matthieu Chedid. The album charted on the national NACC Folk charts 7 consecutive weeks.  Ian’s track, Post-Corona*, was shortlisted at WXPN’s 2021 Non-Comm Convention as top 10 songs of the year to consider.  2024 brings the release of his sophomore album - A FAIR - a 12 track collaboration with acclaimed producer Shane Leonard.
