George Dimitrov Promo Kit



During the last ten years I have been actively performing in Central Florida’s club scene. My musical background is diverse and somewhat universal, combining influences from classic rock, jazz and classical. My musical journey began in the late seventies when I was young and extremely lucky to be able to play mainly classic rock - from the Beatles and Clapton, to Pink Floyd and Deep Purple.

At that time I got seriously intrigued by the world of the classical guitar. I attended The Sofia Conservatory in Bulgaria for two years where I first explored some of the basics of jazz guitar. The irresistible gravity of Jazz and classical lead me to a true musical obsession. My major influences are by modern jazz-rock players like Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin, as well as by some traditionalists like Joe Pass and Larry Byrd. Latin and Classical influences include Andres Segovia, Paco De Lucia, and Julian Bream.

The following years I participated in a variety of projects, which included Classic Rock, classical guitar recitals, and a classical duo with the violinist Constantine Ditchev.

The “American Period” for me began soon after I moved to Central Florida and met with Craig Roy and Joseph Martens. They were conceiving an alternative country project and soon we found ourselves members of the Hindu Cowboys. Almost ten years later the Hindu Cowboys remains of the most popular unsigned bands in Orlando. I began attending SCC where I joined college’s Big Band, conducted by Dr. Bill Hinkle. My love for Jazz mixed with a strong dose of inspiration and encouragement by Dr. Hinkle led me to audition for Central Florida Jazz Society’s annual scholarship, in which I received first prize.

My solo jazz guitar performances encompass a wide variety of acoustic guitar styles - Latin jazz, Bolero, Bossa Nova, Samba, Salsa, and Contemporary Jazz. The essence of my show is a tribute to the jazz guitar legends. I perform original material as well.

I currently perform at Latin Quarter - Universal Studios City Walk, Café Positano, Logan’s Bistro as well as private parties and weddings.
