Little George Band
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Little George Band is a blues quintet based in San Jose, California. Members include “Little” George Stachnik (singer, songwriter, and harmonica player), Jerry Katz (singer and guitarist), Evan Aurand (singer and guitarist), John Diaz (drums) and Dave Oliver (bass guitar). Sonny Urango also played drums on occasion. The band's songs address such contemporary topics as politics and working for dot-coms, as in "Osama’s Blues", "Bust The Boss", and "Silicon Valley Game." The band hosted a jam session on Wednesday nights at JJs Blues, a nightclub in San Jose, California for many years. They stopped working in 2005 because of the untimely death of guitarist Evan Aurand. The band's legacy includes two CDs; both of which were recorded at JJs.
