performing and recording in vermont since 2008
I'm Eric George, a performer, producer, and sound engineer based in Vermont. I sing and play the guitar, and I know a lot of songs for a lot of occasions. I have a six-piece band called Ponyhustle, and we play good old-fashioned country music. These days I get the most joy out of producing other people's music. After many years of recording with a portable set-up, I now run a studio in Randolph, Vermont in collaboration with the Underground Recording Studio. I also teach private lessons on guitar, banjo, bass, and many other instruments. I regularly perform at assisted living and memory care facilities where I've found some of the most meaningful connections through music.

Find your sound
A pile of unfinished songs can build up the way dust accumulates in the corners of a room. If you’re having guests over for dinner, you sweep up. If you want to write new songs, you finish the old ones. But when is a song finished? When do you move on? I believe that recording is an act of catharsis that creates space to welcome more creativity. I make sure that a project is seen through to the end, and that each song feels and sounds exactly like it was meant to. In doing so, we open ourselves to a much greater potential.
