Hello my name is Kim and I am fundraising for my extremely talented brother, "Chocolate George" 'aka' George Handlon. He has the opportunity to record a new album April 2024!

George is an accomplished singer, songwriter, musician whose sole purpose and soul gifts are making music and entertaining people. He started playing jam sessions in bars at seventeen years old in Indianapolis, Indiana. He and some amazing friends and musicians first hit the"Broadripple music scene" in the early 90's (where he sang lead vocals, played harmonica as well as the main songwriter) as the"Fancy Lizards". 

They opened for and "side staged" with some World class bands including Allman Brothers, Hootie and the Blowfish, Jefferson Starship, Dave Mathews Band, Merle Saunders, James McMurtry and Rusted Root. George went on to play with "Little Sky Giant", "Solar Howard" and "Love Dragon". 

George has shared the stage with Dr. Herman Green (Elvis Presley, B.B King, John Coltrane.) Willie Waldman (Willie Waldman Project, Snoop Dogg, Banyan, Rat Dog.) John Avila (Danny Elfman) Jaik Willis, Steven Perkins (Jane's Addiction, Banyan) Rob Wasserman (Ratdog, Banyan) Greg Koerner (Ratdog, Willie Waldman Project) Terry Saffold (Issac Hayes, Marvin Gay, Willie Waldman Project)



A Dr. Herman Green a Memphis legend! R.I.P. my friend!☮️

"The Chocolate George Band" is the culmination of all of his former projects. His last album "Willie's Making Pork chops" recorded at Dave Aron's "Hollywood Way Studio" (2012) is available on all streaming platforms. 

George has toured with the "Willie Waldman Project" the past several years and now has the opportunity to record his next album at the conclusion of next "Willie Waldman Project, his 25th,
"20 Below Zero Tour". He returned to New Mexico after the latest tour at the end of February. The album release tour is also shaping up beginning May 2024!
