GEORGETTE FRY
Main Stage - June 11, 2005
Juno nominated Georgette Fry is an accomplished blues singer/songwriter from Kingston, Ontario. A veteran of the concert and festival circuit she receives rave reviews for her live performances. Georgette has been described as a “powerful and expressive singer”; “a mixture of smoky blues balladeer with the strength of a rhythm and blues shouter”.
Her debut album "Rites of Passage" received a Juno nomination in 1995. Her second release, "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 and seven tracks on her latest release, "Let Me Drive", are Fry originals.
She has received four Maple Blues Awards nominations for "Female Vocalist of the Year". In January 2004 she received Real Blues Awards for “Best Blues Songwriter”, “Best Blues Release – Female Artist” (Let Me Drive) and Best Canadian Blues Vocalist (Female).
Andy Grigg of Real Blues Magazine provides a very fitting description of Georgette Fry when he says, “I doubt if there’s a better female blues or rock vocalist in Canada.”
