A singer and songwriter whose introspective, relatable tales of Midwestern life are well-served by his smoky voice, George Pippen went from road managing other artists to becoming a rising country star in his own right. Making music that blends elements of folk and pop with contemporary country, he won a following on social media before committing to playing his own music full-time. Within months of issuing his first tracks, Pippen was racking up impressive numbers on major streaming services, and his debut EP, Magnolia Nights, captured his strengths as a writer and performer.
