George Olsen

George Olsen (18 March 1893 - 18 March 1971) was an American band-leader.

Born in Portland, Oregon he attended the University of Michigan, where he formed his band. He made the transition to Broadway, appearing in Kid Boots, the Ziegfeld Follies of 1924, and Good News. He met a singer, Ethel Shutta, and they married, appearing together in nightclubs and on radio. They had two children; following a divorce, Olsen opened a restaurant in New Jersey.

Olsen died in Paramus, New Jersey.
