First public performance at the Austin Civic Theater in Austin, Texas ( at age 4) with siblings in the group "The Kinney Kids". George also performed a solo act having to climb up on a stool to reach the mike. He donned a cowboy outfit and sang "Big Rock Candy Mountain" and "Old Chisolm Trail"
Begin playing music seriously at age 16 on the drag at UT Austin on the sidewalk in front of folk clubs where, Allen Dameron, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Townes Van Zandt were beginning their careers.
Kinney joined the band, Chelsea, (1966) as lead singer, singing cover versions of songs by the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and Bob Dylan.
In 1968 Kinney formed The Golden Dawn and recorded an album, POWER PLANT, produced and distributed by International Artists.
Kinney moved to California in 1970. On the west coast formed the band, Texas Medicine.
Returning to Texas in 1972 Kinney formed the rock band, Headstone, and played venues in Austin and Houston.
In 1973, Kinney moved to Nashville and was hired as lead singer in a musical documentary produced by Johnny Cash. The work was titled "The Kingston Springs Suite".
During the eighties, formed the band "Benny and the Jags" which enjoyed a small but loyal following, playing at Joe's Generic Bar and other 6th Street venues in Austin.
From 1994 to present, Kinney's musical appearances have included most of the Austin venues. In addition, Kinney has been a regular performer at the famous Houston blues hotspot, Billy Blues, with the legendary blues master, Jerry Lightfoot, as well as the Houston Continental Club and Rudyard's. Kinney's current band, returning full circle, is The Golden Dawn.
Performances include selections from Kinney's CD, AFTER THE FALL, and several original Golden Dawn selections, plus a sample of new material from the new CD still in the studio.
A recent resurgence of Power Plant record sales in Europe, notably England and France, is proving the songs have survived the test of 30 years of relative obscurity, establishing forever the credibility and authenticity of the album.
