George Barrett & Friends

Sharing the stories behind his original songs and visiting some favorite covers, George will be joined by a band of Columbus all-stars as well as special guest Sarah Gross. George's unique path from musician to business leader and back to music has endowed him with a perspective as diverse as his musical influences. George grew up in a family of musicians, in a home filled with the sounds of classical, folk, rock, blues and jazz. His diverse musical upbringing, combined with his buttery voice and natural comfort on guitar and piano, laid the foundation for an eclectic and rich music journey. After honing his skills as a session singer and performer in the vibrant clubs of NYC's Greenwich Village, George took a detour, embarking on what would become an extensive career in healthcare without ever letting go of his musical roots. His life took a significant turn in 2022 when he reconnected with acclaimed musician, composer, and producer, Brian Keane. The reunion sparked the creation of Not Alone, Barrett's debut album (2023). George and Brian joined forces again on George's most recent album, Rearrange Things (2025). Barrett has performed locally with the Columbus Jazz Orchestra, ProMusica Chamber Orchestra, the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, the New Albany Symphony Orchestra, Shadowbox Live and the Harmony Project band. His music is a reminder of the power of music to capture life's complexities. Food & Bar: Our full food and drink menu will be available before and during the show.
