Inspired by the wild places, both inner and outer, Georgia's meditative, blues-y folk songs are at once intimate and expansive. Georgia invites you into their world of organic expressions, weaving animal calls, nonsense syllables, and evocative lyrics. Combining delicate vocals with rootsy resonator dobro, picked guitar, and fiddle, they create a unique sound that is both haunting and joyful. Through musings on mushrooms, butterflies, and the shape of feet, their music speaks about personal transformation, life, death and rebirth, and living for the moment. Over the past year, they have joined up with musicians Kathryn Merriam, Tristan Murphy, and Elena Spanu to create "The Wilderness Inside."

 

Georgia began writing songs when a series of concussions and post-traumatic stress led them to seek solace in the resiliency and rejuvenating power of nature. They have continued to be inspired by the human stories and natural landscapes of particular places, and connecting those places to their personal journey and universal themes. Their love of blues and resonator-style guitars led them to build a dobro in 2018, finished with the help of Toronto-based guitar maker Allastair Miller, and they write songs specifically for this homemade resonator in the folk and blues styles. Their first single, “Shape of my Feet,” was released in 2020 and featured on CFRC’s ‘Folk Everything’ Radio Show.

 

In 2022, Georgia was the official Artist-in-Residence at the 4elements Living Arts Mobile Studio on Manitoulin Island. They have performed at the 4elements Living Arts Elemental Festival and toured BC in July 2023, including performances at Notional Space (Vancouver) and Cranberry Hall (Powell River). In addition to folk and blues, they have ventured into indie-pop territory with their most recent single and video, “Night Dancer.” They have released a self-titled EP and are currently recording a FACTOR-funded album of material from their Artist Residency.
