It happens once in a blue moon, if you’re lucky. You stumble across a new artist – on MySpace, in a club, on the radio – and fall so quickly and madly in love, you want to stand on top of a desk, a building, even a mountain, and let the whole world know. Vancouver singer-songwriter Hannah Georgas is the new love of your life – and she won’t break your heart.
Her voice, bittersweet yet as spunky as an indie film heroine, will make you swoon as she sings about love, language and awkward situations. Just listen to the two sumptuous acoustic-pop songs on her split 7-inch with Mark Watrous (Shudder To Think, Gosling), due out November 3, 2009. The Deep End was inspired by daily phone conversations with one of her older sisters while Chit Chat recounts a recent dining experience with someone who wouldn’t shut up. “I do listen more than I speak,” says Hannah “I think that’s why I make a good songwriter. I was just watching home videos and I’m definitely the kid on the swing set, singing to myself. In university, I’d know the answer to questions and I would not put up my hand because I would be too scared to speak. Getting on stage, though, is completely different for me – that’s the best thing in the world. ”
Chit Chat and The Deep End are two of the tunes from her upcoming full-length debut, produced by Howard Redekopp, slated for release in March 2010. It’s a warm, whimsical collection of pop-roots songs, but it also offers a hint of Hannah’s secret life as a dancefloor…
Edmonton, Alberta singer-songwriter Colleen Brown will re-release her album "Foot In Heart" with Emm Gryner's Dead Daisy Records & Outside Music on March 16, 2010.
Recipient of the Alberta Emerging Artist Award and finalist in this year's CBC Song Quest, multi- instrumentalist Brown has been called "a national treasure in the making - along the lines of Joni Mitchell, Anne Murray, Gordon Lightfoot or k.d.lang." (Sandra Sperounes of The Edmonton Journal)
Brown has steadily gained momentum since she first self-released "Foot In Heart" in 2008, with dedicated radio play on CBC, CKUA and college stations across the country and most recently placement in a CBC Radio 2 TV commercial. Most notably, Brown's songs have been featured in regular airplay on Rich Terfry's Radio 2 program 'Drive'. "[The album] sounds like some of the best music you heard on pop-radio back in the '70s...I love this album," says Terfry.
