George Huntley is an American singer, guitarist, and songwriter, best known as a member of The Connells from 1985 to 2001.

History

George Huntley played guitar, keyboard, and vocals as a member of the initial line up of the band The Connells. He was childhood friends of brothers David and Mike Connell. Huntley performed solo opening acts for The Connells at many of their early shows. After the band began playing larger shows and had a song featured on the Dolphin Records compilation More Mondo, Huntley expressed interest in joining the band. Huntley graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1984, soon after which he became a member and made his debut on the 1985 Hats Off EP, produced by Don Dixon. Until 1991, with the addition of keyboardist Steve Potak, Huntley played both lead guitar and keyboards in the band, often switching between the two during the same song. He also wrote and sang lead vocals on numerous Connells songs, such as "Sal", "Home Today", and "Doin' You". In 1996, he released his first and only solo album, titled Brainjunk.

Current activities

After the release of The Connells' 8th album Old School Dropouts, Huntley left the band to spend time on family life and pursue other interests. As of July 2022, he owned and operated Huntley Realty LLC.
