About Me

How I made my profile:
I used Dave & Jay's amazing myspace editor . Geo C And Tha Storm, created by Geo C, is Youngstown's premiere funk band. Born and raised in Painesville, Ohio, Geo came to Youngstown to attend YSU and has been here ever since. He opened his record shop downtown in 1996 (Geo's Music, located at 102 Federal Plaza West) and formed the band in 2003. Geo has many musical influences such as Prince, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Funkadelic but adds his own flavor to all his songwriting and performances. He is the founder, bandleader, and main writer for the band but is always willing to spotlight his hand picked musicians. Geo's original compositions are filled with messages of hope and positivity but he still keeps it funky, also adding his self-taught keyboard skills to the mix. His enthusiasm for not only his own creations, but music of all kinds is infectious to those he works with and the audiences at the band's high-energy shows. When Geo takes the stage, his charisma is bound to delight people of any age, from his flashy suits to his powerful voice. Currently, the ensemble performs both original and popular cover songs from James Brown to Rick James. The band showcases some of the most talented musicians in Youngstown. Geo C And Tha Storm has opened for such legendary bands as The Whispers, P-Funk All Stars, The Isley Brothers; and are looking forward to many more exciting shows to come. They have released 2 full-length studio albums entitled "Truth, Funk, Experience" and "A Better Way", and a live album called "Fonkin' Up Yo' Town". Don't miss the newest album, "Geology", available in early 2009. Geo C And Tha Storm's energetic and hard driving shows guaranteed to make you dance entertain not only Youngstown, but many surrounding areas in Ohio, Pennsylvania and more sure to come.
