George Hertzel
Keyboard wizard, singer/songwriter George Hertzel has had an incredible music career spanning over 25 years. His music and performances have always managed to be on the cutting edge of technology. Hertzel’s shows have many unique qualities including live video imaging during performances. He has impressed many audiences as he plays his trademark keyboard/guitar. Finishing up yet another Todd Rundgren opening tour this spring George's music is creating quite the buzz. We here are very glad George considers the Wisteria Stage his home stage. |
Coming Home from his opening tour with Todd Rundgren, George will be performing at Wisteria's Summer Solstice and Wisteria Cornstalk |

George’s musical style combines elements of R&B, Funk, Classic Rock, Bluegrass and Jazz. This is contrasted with ancient and modern drum rhythms, influences and philosophies. In the 80’s Hertzel worked with friends Todd Alan, Jim Gress and “Bongo Bob” Smutak in a pioneering, high tech band “THE EFFECT”. This unique band incorporated drum computers, bass, keyboards, and guitar/guitar synthesizers in live performance. This was augmented with live video imaging effects. |

In Miami, Hertzel produced and played with many Rap and R&B artists as an “on staff” consultant and studio programmer/engineer. Hurricane Andrew changed his venue in August 1992. After returning to his hometown of Cleveland Ohio, George produced and hosted a live radio show called “The Soundboard”, on WHK. This show was devoted to the music industry including interviews with musicians, technicians, engineers, roadies, and live calls from listeners. George’s artistry is on hundreds of recordings and currently he is a professor of keyboard/synthesizer and voice at the Hocking College School of Music and Theater in Southeast Ohio |

Bongo Bob Bongo Bob is an innovative, original musician and artist. He has played with many on stage, in the studio and around the drum circle. His unique style of drumming continues to push the envelope with uninhibited creativity. Along with stage and studio work Bob has been lighting up and energizing drum circles for several decades. He is most known for his intricate counter rhythms and a completely unique expression on a wide range of percussion instruments. Bongo Bob will be teaming up with long time friend George Hertzel in what promises to be a unique, possibly disturbing but certainly entertaining show. |
