His next solo piano album, Spring Carousel - A Cancer Research Benefit, will be released in 2015. These solo piano melodic songs were composed in 2013 while George was recovering from his bone marrow transplant at the City of Hope Village; he is dedicating 100% of his artist royalties to benefit cancer research. A 3 song preview EP is currently available exclusively on iTunes for a limited time to benefit City of Hope.

In December of 2013, George released the digital single "Silent Night-A Benefit for Feeding America," which is available on iTunes, Amazon and Google Play. 100% of the proceeds are donated to Feeding America, the nationwide network of food banks that feeds 37 million people.

George's show at The Odeum will feature his "SUMMER SHOW," which will be spring and summer songs, including melodic folk piano songs from his recordings, Vince Guaraldi's Peanuts pieces, pieces inspired by the New Orleans R&B piano tradition & the Harlem stride piano tradition, and songs from his upcoming album, Spring Carousel - A Cancer Research Benefit, which will be released in 2016.
