George Potts has been making music throughout Northwestern Connecticut for over 40 years. After finishing college he spent the early 70\u2019s in Chicago as founding member of the eclectic folk-jazz ensemble \u201cRedwood Landing.\u201d He moved back to rural Kent, CT in 1976 where he took up playing bass for 20+ years with his father-in-law, the noted pianist Dolph Traymon at Kent\u2019s iconic Fife N\u2019 Drum Restaurant. Since the mid 1990\u2019s George has most often been seen playing with the NWCT acoustic quartet, the Joint Chiefs, or as a bassist accompanying Wanda Houston. More recently, he can be seen playing in a duo with the multi-instrumentalist Gordon Titcomb and in occasional appearances with the 1960-1970\u2019s music era trio \u201cRandom Access Memory.\u201d<\/p>\n
George\u2019s first solo CD entitled \u201cEnds and Odds\u201d (released October 2022) got as high as #17 on FAI National Folk Music Charts. His instrumental guitar work has twice won awards from the New England Songwriting Competition.<\/p>\n
