Biography

Singer/songwriter Inara George is the daughter of Little Feat's Lowell George. At a young age, she was surrounded by the music of his father and his peers -- Jackson Browne, Terry Allen, and Van Dyke Parks -- but George never intended to follow in her late father's footsteps. Theater was her forte; George's younger years were spent performing Shakespeare in her native Topanga Canyon, a community in the Santa Monica mountains. By college age, she studied classical theater acting in Boston. While home one summer, she and some high-school friends started a band as something to do. They called themselves Lode and, to their surprise, landed a deal with Geffen. They lasted long enough to release an EP, 1996's Legs & Arms. Before the decade's end, George joined Bryon Atkinson to form Merrick. The indie rock duo released two albums before breaking up in 2002. Three years later, George issued her solo debut on Everloving. All Rise was produced by Michael Andrews (Donnie Darko, Freaks and Geeks).
