GEORGE'S
CORNER (the biography)
George McMorrow,
having been a staple on the New Jersey Shore music scene for years, decided
to figure out a way to utilize all the great, unsigned music that was
around. He created a company that specializes in providing musicians the
ability to market their music nationally to movie and television soundtracks.
George has had an amazing career. He managed the legendary rock and roll
club " Big Man's West" which was owned by none other than "The Big Man",
Clarence Clemons.
George is on the board of directors of " The Jersey Shore Music and Arts
Coalition" a nonprofit organization focused to promote and educate local
musicians and artists.
George was one of the first people to promote original music in the legendary
Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ.
He produced the first two Holiday Hurrah concerts in Red Bank, NJ.
The first concert included performances by Southside Johnny, Nils Lofgren,
Bruce Springsteen, John Eddie and the front street runners, Patti Scialfa,
Garry Tallent, Carolyn Mas, Diamonds, Ernest "Boom" Carter, and various
other Jersey Shore talents.
The second year's concert sold out in a record 20 minutes, with a two-ticket
limit per person. The show included Joe Piscipo (Saturday Night Live)
as the MC. Paul Schafer (David Letterman) as the musical director. Featuring
performances by Steven Van Zant, Darlene Love, Brian Setzer, Southside
Johnny and a whole who's who of "Jersey Shore Talent".
After
attending NYU for film editing, George has broadened his scope of
talent. He is currently editing a film for Director Doug Bollinger.
Their last mutual project was "Just Lovers" with Bollinger Directing
and George as the Music Supervisor. The film won "Best Score in a Feature
Film" and "Best Film Noir" in the New York International Film and Video
Festival.
Look out
for two movies that George supplied music to, "Scream Queen" and
"St Andrew's Girls" both are LA productions with pending
distribution deals. George is the Music Supervisor for "Grace and the
Storm" a dramatic feature Directed by Christopher Baldi, and
"Opposite Attraction" a dramatic feature Directed by Tom
Wieschenberg. Also on the horizon
are two movies, "Forgiven" and "Looking For Nedrow",
that should be making the festival circuit. George is the Director of
Operations for the Freedom Film Society, which put on the just completed
Fourth Annual Red Bank International Film Festival.
