December 15, 2011 - Go Magazine calls Galilee's George D an "audio wizard and prolific guitarist"
The new Rhythm Room CD, "Groove Infusion," receives a glowing review in the new issue of Go Magazine!
We quote, "Anyone who isn't familiar with the North Attleboro based group will be astounded by the musical capabilities of the band, blending Broadway-style glitz with the spontaneity of a rock concert. Groove Infusion was produced by Cumberland audio wizard and prolific guitarist George Dussault, who polishes the slick production to a high sheen..."
And if you know George, 'slick' isn't all he does!
Thanks to Go Magazine and reviewer Rick Foster!
October 20, 2011 - Motif Magazine Review of "OPEN UP" by Malyssa Bellarosa calls producer George Dussault "a musical genius"
And we quote: "This disc, Open Up, is a stellar work of recording. Producer/Engineer/Arranger George Dussault of Galilee Studios in Cumberland is a musical genius. "George is extremely professional and efficient, but those qualities are second to the creativeness and musical intuition he possesses. Malyssa says. I have previously heard some of his work with Kris Hansen's Viking Jesus project and was quite impressed. Dussault transformed Bellarosa's compositions into pop-indie rock perfection."
Thank you so much, Motif and reviewer John Fuzek!

What Have We Been Doing?
First of all, George would like to thank everyone who prayed for and thought of him during his brush with death in the summer. It definitely slowed him down for a couple of months but the good news is that George is healthy and making music with people he loves again.
So what's going on... Kris Hansen, Bob Giusti and George have just completed the album Viking Jesus - The Everlasting Indestructible Record, which is a trippy electronic reading of the songs of Kris and Bob. Crazy, heavy, glitchy and yet always melodic. This may be their best effort yet.
What else... Baylock is releasing a new EP in November. The title is yet to be announced, but the songs are nearly complete. A great recording of great songs by a great band.
And... Mass Blues band the Gin Dogs are part-way through their next album, with four great new songs in the can. And a big congrats to their newlywed singer Stephanie. Sorry guys, she's hot but she's off the market.
And... The Rhythm Room is about half way there on their epic third album which is coming along fantastically. As many of you know George is a member of this 10-piece outfit, and they have been gigging everywhere. Fortunately George's little vacation at the hospital didn't force him to mess too many shows. They recently played the Gloria Gema Flames of Hope celebration at Waterfire, and have several big shows coming up.
And... George has been making regular appearances on the Derelict Dummies radio show at 990WBOB.com on Tuesday nights.
And... Young violin virtuoso Cathy Livolsi recorded her new recital with George at Galilee. Watch out for this girl. She is a rare and special talent.
And... The new Starting Over Tuesday album was recently completed. Watch out for this in the fall.
And... George recently recorded the music of Jazz composer / pianist Tom White live down at the URI Fine Arts Center in South Kingstown, RI. What a great album this became!
And... George's teaching schedule is going full-throttle with over 40 students a week at Whites Music Education Center and his 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grade classes every Friday at the Deltic Homeschool Co-op.
And... There are about 6 new projects about to start.
I'd say he's making up for lost time.
Fall 2010 News
The new album by the great Massachusettes Hip-Hop artist D-Rhyme has been released. "Think Different" was recording at Galilee during the early part of 2010, co-produced by George and D.
"Think Different" urges listeners to do just that as D-Rhyme hits you with many styles both lyrically and musically. Eleven solid tracks provide, funk, chill, and some beat heavy hip hop songs that will have fans of hip hop remembering the days when music and lyrical were king. For D-Rhyme, bringing innovation through sampling as well as the writing process are keys to providing listeners with more than just a good hip hop album. Rhyme urges listeners to explore the overall experience of the album as they journey through spy-like tracks in "From The Ground Up" to classic funk based tracks in "You Don't Know Me" and "Think Different Esco." Vocal artist Heather James also makes a great guest appearance on "L.O.L.A" giving the track a nice feel good R&B style. Introspective "Opened Eyes" is a great way to go inside the mind of D-Rhyme's lyrical prose while the heavy hitting "Rat Race" finishes off the album leaving a strong taste of the essence of hip hop and rap music on the mind. "Think Different" has something for everyone. D-Rhyme would only have it that way.

June 2010 News
The second full-length CD by Starting Over Tuesday is in the final mix stage. As good as their first CD was, we all think that this new album is a major step forward for the band. The songs are tight, the musicianship and vocals are excellent and the recording sounds tremendous. Stay tuned for a release date announcement.
Also at Galilee, the third Kris Hansen CD is in progress. On board with Kris is Bob Giusti on drums and percussion and Richard Ribb on bass. The guys are tracking with George as we speak, working in the sixth song for this project. Kris and the guys are gigging every week in Providence, making some wonderful acoustic music so make sure you check them out. You won't be disappointed.
Just completed is the debut EP by Providence band...well...they first called themselves This Is It, but then the Michael Jackson movie came out...so now they're called This Is A Movement. The CD is awesome and Messers Carney, Flynn, Pedro and Mignacca have turned in great performances of great songs with a really nice, raw sound.
In July, George will be resuming his post as Director of Senior Music for the South-eastern Massachusettes Arts Collaborative (www.smartscollab.org) where he'll be leading a band of 11 teens. He's looking forward to meeting the new members and working again with those who are returning from last year. So hey to Allie, Sam and Andy!
Also in progress, the second album by Baylock, a new CD by the Gin Dogs, a series of TV and radio commercials for various area businesses, the third Rhythm Room CD, a new album by Joe Parillo and several other recording sessions.
Rhythm Room's Third CD In Progress
Along with performing massive shows at Showcase Live Patriots Place in Foxboro and many other shows, George's band the Rhythm Room is working hard at writing and recording their next album at Galilee Productions. Several of the new songs are already being performed at their shows. Started so far are the titles "Five Gates," "One Way To Chicago," "The Sweetest Thing," "Full Throttle," and "Cajun Lullabye."
Gin Dogs Album "Songs For Betsy" Released and Getting Radio Play
The album, recorded at Galilee and produced by George, is out and getting great reviews, and word on the street is that the Gin Dogs are getting substantial radio play in the northern New England area with some in studio unplugged performances scheduled. The band is gigging around, so if you like great rock and blues go check out the Gin Dogs.
The Down And Outs "Cacaphony" Getting Great Reviews and Nominations

New Album by Great Mass Punk Band Flat Out Jones Completed
This band is so tight... George and the guys recorded the basic tracks to 17 songs in one day! No kidding. George performed an all analog mix on this great, fast, heavy album, and we're expecting release very soon.
Galilee Records Fantastic Concert by Andy Solberg and Fountainhead
The concert was a reunion for the band, and the playing (and the recording) was phenomenal. Great audience too. Killer Kane guested on harmonica, along with vocalist Sheila Masterson and bassist from Tony Bennett's band Marshall Wood for a night of great music. Live album to follow.
February 2010 - The Down And Outs Release Cacaphony
February 27 is the official release date for "Cacophony," the second album by one of the best punk bands in the country, The Down and Outs. The album was cut with George starting in late 2008 and continuing '09, and the sessions were a blast. These guys can play and sing for real, their music is raw and real in all the right ways and so is the CD. It is definitely one of our favorite releases.
Actually, the CD has been out unofficially for a few weeks and word is that people are loving it. They certainly are in Japan, where it sold out on Interpunk in a matter of days.
The CD release party will be at AS220 on Saturday, 2/27. These guys smoke live, and they're sharing the stage with a couple of other really great bands too, so you should come to the show.
