ALI GEORGE
Bio
Ali George is a British singer-songwriter with a distinct fingerstyle guitar technique, mellow vocals, and an earthy songwriting style. Inspired most deeply by Bon Iver, Nick Drake, and John Martyn, he has been active in the southwest English folk scene for 20 years. His 2020 album, “Platys Yialos”, marked a departure from his folk roots, and the lead single, "Wait for the Mist to Clear," was praised by BBC Music Introducing DJ Sarah Gosling as an "absolute gem." His new album “Watchful Days” will be released in July 2023.
"An artist who has an unusually earthy quality, sounding genuinely natural in an otherwise processed world."
MP3 Hugger
"The guitar picking and sweet melody is more than enough to get you to fall in love with singer-songwriter, Ali George."
Rock the Pigeon
"His guitar playing is delicate and picturesque, his lyricism poignant and gripping, and his command for songwriting obvious."
Two Story Melody
“This UK artist in some ways reminds me of old school Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam),
and that is a great thing!”

Recent Single: "Little Prophecy"
"This is a voice that you could listen to for hours. 'Little Prophecy' is the epitome of a perfectly written song. We absolutely have to draw attention to the precision playing on the acoustic guitar. It just flows out of Ali as if he was born playing. The fills are just spectacular. They’re very reminiscent of Mark Knopfler’s style of acoustic playing. Ali George is a true talent."
