GEORGE KATSOS BIO/PRESS RELEASE - 2026

George Katsos is an adult contemporary musician from Alexandria, Virginia.  In the 1980s George attended the last night jam at the famous Cambridge Music Complex outside Boston the night before it was demolished.  Local performers and members of groups such as Boston, Aerosmith, The Cars, and The J. Geils Band at times practiced there.  The intrigue piqued George's interest in becoming a live club performer.  In 1988 his band was selected for regional college level exposure by MTV.  A few years later his composition “Johnny Save The World” was a 7-inch vinyl record distributed nationally to college radio and highlighted by Billboard Magazine’s Larry Flick as ’Critic's Choice of the Week’ reviewed along with Radiohead, Stone Temple Pilots, Jewel, and Led Zeppelin.  Efforts that followed led to his side-B composition “Commitment” turning into a video shown nationally on the Fox Cable Network which Conan O’Brien remembered in a Boston suburb Irish pub encounter.  A few years later George voluntarily removed himself from the music scene.  Out of reverence to the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and approaching a 20-year musical hiatus, George paid homage to Liverpool, England with his family during Beatlemania.  Upon returning home he developed songs that ended up as independent short play releases.  George still records original music and does make rare appearances as a solo acoustic artist in the Washington DC area.
