Georgia Potter: debut mini-album launch
January 25 at the Troubadour & January 30 at The Soundlounge

(Currumbin)
followed by dates on the Sunshine Coast & Northern NSW.

‘fresh folk, philosophy & soul’

The release of Georgia’s long awaited debut recording is the culmination of several personal milestones for the 20 year-old Brisbane artist.  Having been the main contributor in all areas of its assembly, from the writing & performing, to the production, engineering and even the artwork, this mini-album marks the completion of Georgia’s Audio Production degree with the Conservatorium and a ‘Do-It-Yourself’ venture that had been in the pipeline for some time now. 

Stylistically a mixture of folk, soul, roots and occasionally reggae & hip-hop, the recording shifts between the timeless singer/songwriter style to a groove-heavy full band sound.  Teaming lush production with intimate, close & raw performances, Georgia’s standout vocal delivers fresh perspectives on issues of cultural identity, tradition, love and loss, balancing criticism & optimism, poetry & melody, humour & humanity, culminating in a record that is both hard-hitting & mellow.  

Track six, Take it Down, features on the 2008 Island Vibe Festival Compilation CD & received national airplay on Triple J. The recording also features musicians from a variety of Brisbane bands including Kafka, Mr. Laneous & the Family-Yah, Grassroots Street Orchestra & The Cool Calm Collective.

As an artist going beyond politics, Georgia explores philosophy & the human condition with a depth of understanding & insight that is fresh, original & surprising.  With her live shows being equally as strong as the recorded product, she is proving to be an artist with the courage to be honest & personal, wild & ridiculous and to be always pushing her own boundaries.
