George Boomsma is a singer-songwriter hailing from Northallerton, North Yorkshire. Known for his emotive vocals and soulful guitar playing, George has spent the last decade crafting a sound that blends both warmth and melancholy, captivating listeners across the UK and beyond.

His music weaves through themes of relationships, family, self-acceptance, grief, and navigating life’s many uncertainties. Over the years, George has shared the stage with celebrated artists like Richard Thompson, Scott Matthews and Katherine Priddy. His songs have found their way onto stations such as BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 6 Music and RTE Radio 1. He has also graced the stages of some of the most renowned folk festivals, including Cambridge Folk Festival in the UK and Port Fairy Folk Festival in Australia.

While George’s music may be subconsciously informed by the ridings of Yorkshire and the folk tradition so prevalent in the area, his songwriting comes from a deeply personal place. His rich vocals and confident lyrical style are reflected in his storytelling, while his guitar work often echoes Nick Drake in approach. With the addition of his live band, the folk-rock influence reminiscent of classic CSN and Stealers Wheel records is evident. Traditional folk signatures and themes run throughout George’s music, occasionally blending into country motifs , with the bed-rock pocket of rhythm and blues.

George is very much looking forward to bringing his band back to the Regal to celebrate his newest album!
