At 10:30 David George shares tracks from KING OF KANSAS CITY, the debut album of St. George & The Dragons. Lead singer David George (Moaning Lisa, John Fogerty band) has been working with drummer/engineer Pat Tomek (The Rainmakers) since 2018 when they recorded three solo EPs for George. While orking together producing an album for David Luther, they enlisted the help of Matt Kesler (The Pedaljets, She Said, The Doo Dads) on bass with Tomek on drums and George on guitars and keys. They hit it off! Eventually the trio brought in Mike Greene, lead guitarist of The Front, a band known for their searing guitar and power rock sound, and vocalist/guitarist Skeet Hanks from New Orleans, who fronted the band Beatin’ Path, tearing up the Bayou country with their progressive rock sound and soaring melodies. The new 5-piece now has a 10-track debut album on Grand Central Bell Records! St. George & The Dragons play a Vinyl Release Party, Thursday, September 19, 2024 at 8:00pm at Knuckleheads, 2715 Rochester St, KCMO with Comet Tide.
