“I think you have to take what I do in context and look at the body of songs I play. What you see is a strong independent woman”- G.Fry

Georgette began writing songs while living in London and arrived back in Kingston in November of 1994, bringing with her a recording grant from the Ontario Arts Council. This brought about the release of her Juno-nominated, debut album “Rites of Passage” in 1995. Her second release, recorded by CBC for “Saturday Night Blues”, “Georgette – Live” earned her: the Jazz Report Award for Blues Musician of the Year and two Real Blues Magazine Awards for Best Canadian Blues Vocalist (1997, 1998).

Georgette is also a talented songwriter – 7 of the 12 tracks on her third release, “Let Me Drive”, are Fry originals. “I was starting to run out of tunes by other people that appealed to me” Georgette said in an interview. “I don’t do victim tunes and I like songs that have attitude.” This attitude is exemplified in the title song of the CD and has become a favourite amongst fans.

Georgette has a love of good music, be it jazz, blues or beyond. Sandy MacDonald, Halifax Daily News writes, “With her luscious singing voice, she explores the soulful grey area between blues and jazz, where artists like Etta James and Ray Charles and Bonnie Raitt have staked their careers.”

“Georgette and her band put on a long, entertaining show, full of great music…. Don’t miss an opportunity to see her live.” Warren Dallin, Live Review, CanadianBlues.ca
