Hailing from the depths of rural Ireland, alternative Donegal singer-songwriter George Houston was raised on classic folk, pop and rock from his parents’ vast collection of CDs and vinyls. Always encouraged to play freely with instruments, George developed a natural timeless sound, a voice beyond his years and a songwriting style sprinkled with nostalgia.
George has grown a large international audience from the viral reaction to his single “In Aeternum Vive,” which was placed in Glastonbury’s longlist, as well as gaining the attention of acclaimed artist Declan McKenna, who gave George his first play on BBC Radio One. George was also contacted by international legend Paul Weller, who invited George to open for his Irish and North American tour.
George’s television appearances on Later... with Jools Holland and The Tommy Tiernan Show introduced his fourth album, TODC, catapulting him as one of the most promising up-and-coming Irish artists.
