George Alley, (b. Cleveland, Ohio, USA) George Alley Bio:
George Alley is a Philadelphia-based multimedia artist whose music has been the center of his work as a composer, performer, professor, journalist, podcaster, choreographer, and curator. First forming a band in high school with Frank Musarra of Hearts of Darknesses, who he continues to collaborate with on this upcoming album, Alley has been releasing singles, performing, and using his original music for performance and dance pieces as part of his company Alley Ink. Performance has informed his work either in his music video collaborations with Adam Peditto or as a curator for five years of the Philadelphia multimedia arts festival Collage.

He is the Features Editor for the UK-based LGBT pop culture Loverboy Magazine, interviewing a variety of notable musicians, as well as a podcaster for the top-ten iTunes comedy podcast "I’m Going to Kill You!" and the pandemic cast "Queerona." As a professor, he teaches courses on punk and creativity. This work informs his music through an emphasis on the DIY ethos and the philosophies of chance, spontaneity, and assemblage.

Alley has released his self-titled debut album, George Alley. Produced by Ian Romer with additional production from Frank Musarra, it also features musical contributions from Norma Alley (vocals), Eric Coyne (cello), Sasha Ki (violin, viola), Russel Kotchner (violin), Jack Reilly (drums), Alec Spiegelman (saxophone), and Branson Yeast (cello). To accompany this release, a five-song concert has been filmed and will be released along with three promotional music videos.
