Profile - Matthew George

Outlier Profile - Matthew George






	Matthew is one of those people that knows a lot about a lot of different things. And he has a way of saying things that just makes you want to laugh. Perhaps this is why it's always great to have him around, and great to have him at an Outliers gig. After seeing the band just once, Matthew has become a fan and has taken on the role of unofficial A&R guy - suggesting new tunes to the band - as one of the things he knows a lot about, is music. Matthew, we're thrilled to have you in the Outliers family. Matthew lives in Westchester, NY, and works in advertising in Manhattan. True to his "good guy" nature, he insisted on a family shot for his picture above.
