George & Noriko | The Backstage Sessions 2022

In the wings of the Festival Theatre, Adelaide Guitar Festival favourites, along with some of Adelaide’s most talented emerging musicians, recently came together to collaborate on a series of exclusive mini-concert recordings. Intimate, candid, and shot in high definition with a backdrop of memorabilia from past Adelaide Festival Centre productions, see these musicians in a vibrant new light.
Known as the Japanese Blues Cowboy and the Tsugaru shamisen player, George & Noriko have been kicking up a storm wherever they play. George’s lightning-fast licks & growling harmonica, enhanced by Noriko’s percussive sounds of the traditional shamisen (Japanese banjo), has morphed into a unique kind of bluegrass country sound with a Japanese twist.

So So Good. I could never understand why you guys didn't win Australia's got talent. Noriko l could watch you play that instrument all of the day and all of the night.

I have been following George since he began busking in Melbourne possibly more than 20 years ago and l can honestly say his performances never disappoint. The addition of Noriko has only enhanced the performances. These two exceptional, gifted and outstanding performers deserve to be playing in the concert halls of the world but I am forever grateful for their magnificent shows busking in Melbourne. How lucky and blessed we are to have such talent in Melbourne. 😍🌹
