George Hrab

Multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, skeptic, producer, composer and heliocentrist George Hrab has written and produced six independent CDs; published one book; performed at the 2008 TAM6 for the James Randi Foundation; performed for President Clinton; shared the stage with countless musicians and acts; and traveled across the country, both as a drummer for the nationally recognized Philadelphia Funk Authority, and as defacto President for Life of The Geologic Orchestra.

Humbly following in the footsteps of icons such as Frank Zappa, Mark Twain, Carl Sagan, Will Rogers, and even Penn & Teller, George has made it a personal quest to improve the cognitive skills of each and every person by reaching them through their funny bones and dance shoes.

In addition to his ten-piece Geologic Orchestra shows, Geo often performs in a solo acoustic setting. These intimate performances showcase his superlative musicianship, quick wit and incendiary social commentary. He also weekly produces ?The Geologic Podcast? which features humor, sketches, skeptical commentary and weekly segments like The Religious Moron of the Week, Grandma's Entertainment Report, The History Chunk, Ask George, and Interesting Fauna.

Geo has been featured on many radio broadcasts, TV shows, and podcasts. Along with heroes Michael Shermer, James Randi and Bad Astronomer Phil Plait, he was featured in the Skepchick 2007 Skepdude calendar. George recently published a collection of his writings, ?Non-Coloring Book?, and delivered a well-received ?fan of Geology? lecture discussing the evidence of the earth's age at the 2007 Dragon*Con science track.

He hopes to someday be the second person to rollerblade on Neptune.
