Song Of The Day: George Stathakes - Untitled #4
George Stathakes is a New Orleans based singer songwriter whose work is infused with a dose of blues, a sense of history, and an affinity for the theatrical. Every syllable and bar of Stathakes musical output seems intended to transport the listener to a century old sideshow, with the customary affectations and references to match. In short, it’s evocative, and in a way that belies George’s age and the fact that his latest release Drawings in Dust, is his first. If the song hits you where you want it to, then be sure to check out George via the links below.

10 Minute Interview - George Stathakes
Last week, while I was safely ensconced in the apartment of a friend in New Orleans, I had the opportunity to sit down with musician and long time friend of the show George Stathakes, to talk about his new album, his time spent touring with the Blue Party, and the trials and tribulations regarding balancing employment and being a musician.
We will have more information on his upcoming record and subsequent touring info as it becomes available. Until then, check out his music here.
