Heavenly sounds arrive in Queenscliff

The Uniting Church in Queenscliff will come alive with the heavenly sounds of The Georgia Brooks Swingtet on November 4.

Touted as vintage swing with a natural elegance, Georgia and the Melbourne-based band will sing songs from their long-awaited debut album With Thee I Swing.

Recorded at Newmarket Studios, North Melbourne and engineered by Callum John Barter (Cat Empire, Courtney Barnett, British India); The Georgia Brooks Swingtet comprises of Georgia Brooks (vocals), Kym Dillon (piano), Ben Calderazzo (guitar), Michelle Scully (double bass) and Sean Loughran (drums).

A rising star in the Australian jazz scene, Georgia Brooks wows audiences wherever she goes, having assembled some of the finest musicians they relish performing anywhere from a rip-roaring swing dance to the more subdued and dynamic concert setting.

Imbued with a decidedly vintage tone, a natural elegance and a great respect for the classic repertoire of the 1920s and ‘30s, Georgia is just at home singing alongside a guitar or piano as she is with her full complement of musicians.

After years of classical training Georgia moved into swing and jazz, picking it up with ease and in doing so discovered a natural flair for interpreting many of the well-known (and some lesser-known) works of the early twentieth century.

A swing dance teacher in her own right Georgia has a great command of melody, harmony and rhythm, a stellar performer with one of the most exquisite voices you’ll ever hear, don’t miss the opportunity to see The Georgia Brooks Swingtet live on stage.

This Cafe Style Concert will be held in the beautiful Chapel at the Uniting Queenscliff, Corner Hesse and Stokes Street on November 4 at 5pm.
