Pianist George Foley's virtuosity, warmth and humor have endeared him to audiences for over thirty years. His wide-ranging repertoire includes jazz, rags and other gems from the ragtime era, standards from the teens, 20's and 30's, swing tunes, blues, short 20th century classical pieces and occasional forays into modern jazz and movie themes. George also sings in a style reminiscent of Fats Waller, Jack Teagarden and Mildred Bailey.
George is in great demand as a soloist, with his own band and as a featured member of other bands. On Mondays George Foley and Gene Epstein hold forth at the Larchmere Tavern. A number of musical friends can always be expected to appear and participate. He appears weekly as a soloist at the Academy Tavern, also on Larchmere Boulevard on Wednesdays. George also plays piano with the Night Owls at the Larchmere the first Saturday afternoon every month. You can find him every other Friday night at the Rib Cage on Lee Rd. in Cleveland Heights.
George's ability to swing and improvise contribute to the intensity and drive of his performances. Audiences never fail to have a good time. |
