Singer-Songwriter-Producer George Hamilton V is widely regarded for helping fuel the "Americana" music movement in Nashville, Tennessee, where he is known as a Music City "outlaw" in the tradition of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson.

Born into the Family Tradition of Country Music, he practically grew-up backstage at the GRAND OLE OPRY® . Today, he bears the Country Music torch for the new generation. BILLBOARD MAGAZINE defines George's music as "IMPRESSIVE. The Warmth Of Country Music With The Muscle And Intensity Of Rock" while another reviewer simply calls it "The Passion Of Country - The Power Of Rock". One British writer says: "Although George V is often looked upon as a 'rebel' and his music more rock than country, the plain fact is that he's really more traditional than his illustrious parent."

George V has carried his Country Music torch WORLDWIDE, across FIVE continents, where journalists have proclaimed him "The Emperor of Country-Rock"(France), "King of Country" (Belgium), "Rebel Without A Pause" (Australia), "Entertainment Personified" (England), "Royal Mile Cowboy" (Scotland), "Mr. Dynamite" (Latvia), "A Future Southern Superstar" & "Music City's Most Original New Talent" (USA).

His debut CD, the critically acclaimed HOUSE OF TEARS, produced by Mitch Easter of REM fame, wound-up on many U.S. Top Ten lists alongside U-2, REM and Bruce Springsteen, while his self-directed music video, "Burial Ground Of The Broken Hearted", aired on MTV. George's first Country single, "She Says", made BILLBOARD MAGAZINE's TOP 100 -- earning invitations to perform the song on BBC-TV and at the world-famous GRAND OLE OPRY® where he performs regularly.
