An award winning singer/songwriter,
Geoffrey Rutledge has been playing professionally for almost three
decades. Geoffrey's keen ability to convey his interesting perspective
on life through his songwriting, in combination with his rich, smooth
voice and sardonic wit, charms audiences everywhere. Geoffrey has
been playing since the age of nine. His musical influences range
from James Taylor to Sting to Stevie Wonder.
He received the Northern California Songwriters Association's prestigious
"Song of the Year" award, and is a favorite with the audiences at
the Kerrville Folk Festival, where he has been featured on the main
stage year after year. He's also worked in the studio with Russ
Kunkel, Leland Sklar, and Dean Parks.
Geoffrey sings, accompanies himself on guitar, and occasionally
on piano. He can also add another guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist
for a slightly fuller sound. Geoffrey Rutledge and John Tindel together
are known as Local Knowledge.
Seasoned musicians who have played together for almost three decades,
Geoffrey and John have appeared with such notables as Bonnie Raitt,
Jackson Browne, David Crosby & Graham Nash, and John Prine (to name
just a few). Geoffrey's smooth, sure intimate vocals backed by rhythmic
chops and perfectly complimented by John's fluid, elegant guitar
fills and dynamic keyboards make this duo a crowd-pleasing favorite
from coast to coast.
Geoffrey also appears in a full band configuration as RST.
