George Westberry- After performing in several touring acts, and traveling all over the country, George decided in 1997 to form a group where musically there were no limits, and None The Wiser was born!. Listing such greats as: Jaco, Victor Wooten, John Paul Jones, Geddi Lee, Bill "the buddah" Dickens, Family Man, Cliff Burton, Marcus Miller, and Derrek Smalls, as influences George has a varied pallet and a raging case af musical A.D.D. After having a beautiful Conklin custom 7-string bass made for him in 2000, he has embarked on the journey of learning this "NEW" instrument as well. His approach is from the pocket "turned inside out," playing off the space in and around the groove, while stepping in and out of the role of a traditional bassist. His style is; aggresive melodic, soulful, funky, and sometimes chordal, while singing his heart out into a smelly microphone. George plays-Conklin custom basses, whatever strings he can find, and ONLY Ampeg amps and speaker cabs!
