Saturday Dinner
George Inai and his Curious Ghosts
George is a fourth generation Japanese-American born and raised in Denver. He grew up believing that America was a melting-pot, a place where people of every color were stirred together into a magnificent stew. Throughout his journey, as a child wandering the aisles of his grandfather's Asian grocery; admiring the vibrancy of his African-American schoolmates; growing his hair to his waist and playing heavy-metal; getting hitched to a Mexican immigrant, he's believed. And thus his music, a sonic smorgasbord of Latin rhythms, folk music, crooner ballads, kitchen utensils and rusty plumbing, simmered with a Japanese attention to detail, has become the embodiment of those beliefs. Or all boiled down, you could say his music is like a Model T built by Toyota in a Mexican factory.
George has one full length studio release "This Foolish Music" and is beginning work on his second. His CD's can be purchased at Pacific Mercantile or through his website www.georgeinai.com.
