Singing with the Stars: Vocalist Emily McIntosh at George's Thursday

If you like vocal jazz and pop, you won't want to miss world-class vocalist Emily McIntosh at George's Place on Dec. 1.

SHE HAS OPENED for The Four Tops, The Temptations, Earth Wind & Fire, Chicago and soul legend Al Green. She performed a duet with Huey Lewis. She has recorded hundreds of radio jingles that air worldwide every day. You can hear her on Nintendo Wii, film, stage and television. Hers has been called "the best voice in the Northwest."

Her name is Emily McIntosh, and lucky for us, she's the girl next door.

Emily lives in Woodinville. When she's not recording, teaching or traveling, she performs R&B, soul, pop, and jazz in the Seattle area.

George's has been a gathering place . They serve traditional and Greek breakfast and lunch every day from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and dinner from 3 to 11 pm Tuesday through Saturday. They are one of the few places in town that offers regular live music - I wish there were more!
