Georgie James signed
Big news for Washington-based indie rock band Georgie James: The duo of singer/pianist Laura Burhenn and former Q and Not U drummer John Davis recently signed to the Saddle Creek label.
Georgie James marries '70s-style songwriting with a more modern indie rock feel. With lush harmonies and catchy melodies, they're one of the best new bands to come out of Washington. You can get their single Need Your Needs here. The debut album comes out this fall.
I recently interviewed them for Baltimore Unsigned, the local music show I host on 89.7 WTMD. Listen to their performance/interview here. They're also playing the Recher Theatre in August.
Saddle Creek already represents Bright Eyes, Cursive, Now It's Overhead and others. I think it will be a good home for Georgie James too.
