| Biography |
Known for his work
with legendary producer Norman Petty, George Tomsco's trademark
guitar led the Fireballs and enhanced recordings by Buddy Holly,
Arthur Alexander, Buddy Knox,
Carolyn Hester, and numerous others. George's music
with the Fireballs was the blueprint for the 60s surf rock craze. As
author Michael Corcoran writes,
"George Tomsco has influenced just about every
instrumental rock band in existence." His current set includes
the Fireballs' 1963 #1 hit
"Sugar Shack," their 1968 Top 10 hit "Bottle of
Wine," and the band's
charted guitar instrumentals such as "Bulldog," "Rik
A Tik," and "Torquay,"
(included in Robert Rodriguez' "From Dusk Till Dawn"
soundtrack).
