“A fierce guitarist and accomplished songwriter who has made a name fronting jam band-adjacent groups like Pinna and George Fetner and the Strays, he’s also a new music composer and classically-trained guitarist with undergrad and master’s degrees in composition from the University of South Carolina.

True to form, he also diligently worked on putting together a recorded compilation of his compositions played by USC students and faculty entitled Beneath the Ice, which appeared in 2015, and a solo acoustic album in the vein of Nick Drake and Elliott Smith, Some Things We’ll Change, in 2017. 

His current project, George Fetner and the Strays, which he affectionately refers to as GFATS, finds him back in rock band mode, competently tackling a variety of styles with a renewed emphasis on songwriting while applying a composer lens to crafting individual roles for each player.
