The noble struggle between embracing the light and succumbing to the darkness is an ongoing battle for so many people from one moment to the next. Sometimes sin gets the better of us, and sometimes our moral compass rights itself, letting our virtues rise to the top instead.

To a large degree, these are the same inner demons Nashville-based country singer/songwriter George Shingleton grapples with every day. Rather than give in to the pain, Shingleton has instead been able to wrangle his own internal good vs. evil wrestling match into a number of heartfelt songs that are infused with his patented lived-in, whiskey-tinged vocals. “We’re all striving to be better people,” Shingleton believes. “If we’re not, then what are we doing here?”

Born and bred in rural West Virginia, Shingleton’s Appalachian extended family ties run deep. Music-making has been in Shingleton’s blood, quite literally, from his early days of singing and playing instruments in the church, surrounded by multiple generations of family at his side as he ascended to taking vocal solos in the youth choir, and beyond.

Beyond his sacred, sanctuary-nurtured musical roots, Shingleton’s influences run the gamut from Hank Williams Jr. and Waylon Jennings to Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers Band.

Shingleton’s music taps into universal experience to reach the country audience at large. “It’s all about the ideas,” he notes. “If you’re trying to be that artist who writes or co-writes his own stuff, you want everybody to relate to it. And the more people that relate to it, the better off you are.”
