Clepper George (CG) is an Austin-based duo that delivers an exciting new sound in the tradition and spirit of John Prine, Bob Dylan, Gordon Lightfoot, Butch Hancock, Joe Ely and others. They are two road-seasoned, experienced singer/song writers who have performed in venues from California to New York and from Canada to Europe. They bring two widely different musical backgrounds in American music together to forge a unique Americana sound that has impressed audiences all over the country.

Jimmy George is a rock and roll guitar slinger who is known locally in Austin for his innovative, daring lead work and looping shows. Since 2001 JG/JGB has opened for the likes of Tom Petty, Tim Reynolds (Dave Mathews Band), The California Guitar Trio and Carlos Santana and has played with some of the best local Austin bands over the past 15 years, including the Asylum Street Spankers, Weird Cousin and his own Jimmy George Band (JGB). A prolific, talented singer song writer, artist and poet, Jimmy has independently produced more than 30 CD’s containing mostly his original work.

Russell Clepper’s roots are in folk, bluegrass and the progressive country of artists like Ely, Hancock and Jimmy Dale Gilmore.
