George Ezra: Soulful, Global Folk-Pop

Soundcheck | Jul 24, 2015

George Ezra, like many young adults exiting their teens, had big dreams. Unlike many young adults, his dreams very much came true. Discovered on Youtube when he was only 18, George Ezra’s career has skyrocketed. His irresistible hit “Budapest” made it into the World Singles Top 40 chart for 19 consecutive weeks. In that time, George Ezra toured Europe and North America, bringing his earnest sound to stages from Le Bataclan in Paris to our very own Beacon Theatre. His deep, soulful voice and his easygoing lyricism belie the fact that he's still only 21.  Today, he leaves "Budapest" behind, but takes us to "Barcelona," and beyond.
