The Blues Train - Shake Rattle 'n' Roll

The Artists

George Kamikawa
Born and bred in Japan, George found that being a salary man wasn't his thing and took off on a working holiday. He ended up busking around NZ and moved to Australia in 2001.

With ten years of professional experience under his belt, George has fronted various rock and blues bands playing in pubs and restaurants in both Japan and New Zealand. His playing is typified by its raw energy and broad tonal range - from delicate harmonics to searing rips and slides on guitar, soulful singing and driving rhythms on harmonica.

When his debut solo CD ‘Blue to the Bone’ was released in 2003, he toured extensively throughout Australia, New Zealand and Japan. In 2004 he won the Australian Country Music Busking Championship at the Tamworth Country Music Festival and started receiving critical acclaim in the national print media. In 2007 George joined the Blues Train and is featured on the 'Train Trax Volume 2' CD.
