Bio
George Gilmore
Born and bred New Yorker, George Gilmore’sgot some great songs on his new release 'I am a Weed.' Witty and nostalgic some times dark and cruel. The song itself: ‘I am a Weed’, is a good introduction to George’s irreverent style.
With his rich and sometimes fragile voice, he sings us a slightly sinister tune about the gardener’s futile struggle against nature:
“You win the fight /but not the war/ when the morning comes/ they’ll be many more.”
From there it gets da...
Press
“George Gilmore – "I Am A Weed" -
There are a few artists out there who can be said to work an American variation on the various phases of Nick Lowe‘s early career—Walter Clevenger‘s power pop and John Paul Keith‘s garage Americana come to mind—but where is the US equivalent of latter-day Lowe, the cool, classy balladeer whose quietly crooned tunes are shot through with rootsy rock & roll savvy? Right here. Flashes of soul, rockabilly, folk and even gospel illuminate George Gilmore’s tales of a man who’s been around the block enough to narrate every square foot of it with authoritative ease.”
