George
Kelakos fans, musician pals, and roadies from the seventies still ask “How’s George”? Lead singer / lead guitarist George Kelakos Haberstroh was always known for a warm, charismatic voice long-time Kelakos fans will instantly recognize. His songwriting always sets a mood, marked by catchy lyrics and tasty, spontaneous guitar licks burning with intensity. The band leader always owned the spotlight with his ability to fire up an audience and sing every kind of song from the most driving rock music to soft, mellow ballads. After the band went its separate ways in 1978, George kept on writing, playing, and privately building a substantial catalogue of original songs.
