George Shingleton

From the first note he sings, George Shingleton doesnt just ask for your attention, he commands it. You sit up and lean in. Then youre blown away by his power. His body is an amplifier ushering rich, stirring tones from deep within his soul sending them straight to yours.Shingletons energy creates a capsule-like environment where he gets lost in the music and takes you with him. Its the kind of experience musicians have tried to hotwire for centuries, the very secret of which Shingleton embodies - that it cant actually be engineered, that it is the product of ones own passion and destiny.A son of rural West Virginia, Shingleton was raised on traditional gospel music in small country churches.
