Jam4George Concert: Nov. 3rd 1:00PM - 10:30PM Barnet Park 248
East St. John Street
ALL PROCEEDS GO TO George McCorkle Foundation George made his Journey Home June 29th, 2007 and was laid to rest on July 3 in Spartanburg, SC. George McCorkle was an original member of The Marshall Tucker Band - the pride of Spartanburg, South Carolina. Back in the 70's, and continuing today, the Tucker boys revolutionized the concept of Southern music and made their hometown proud many times over. George played mostly rhythm guitar...with a picker the power of Toy Caldwell on lead, it took a special kind of talent to be able to keep from being lost in the mix...but George handled the job well. Marshall Tucker hits like "Fire On The Mountain" and "Last Of The Singing Cowboys" came from George, who left the band in the 80's for a career as a songwriter in Tennesee. But the real George McCorkle will be remembered for his kindness and mentoring of up and coming musicians. He'll be greatly missed by many, many people worldwide. "I wish I could find the words right now to express the loss everyone is feeling. But, there just are not words that describe such a wonderful man, only music."..Bruce Wall The Jam For George Concert will honor George as both a human being and an original member of The Marshall Tucker Band. Those who knew George McCorkle have described him as a kind, Southern Gentleman who appreciated all types of music. We want this show to reflect the the spirit of the man as well as his music. We want this show to reflect the respect that Upstate South Carolina and the whole Music Industry had for George. Barnet Park, Spartanburg SC Nov. 3rd
