An artist of unbridled energy and singular originality, Georgia Maria melds classic folk songwriting with fierce rock attitude as if the two should never have been parted. Her distinctive, haunting vocal delivers intricately-woven tales of betrayal, passion, and the murkier uncharted depths of the human heart, painting across a musical canvas that is by turns defiant and transcendent, pitch-black and blazing with joyous light.
 

      Georgia formed her three-piece band in 2021 in the wake of the hellfire that was the COVID-19 Pandemic, yet her story began long before. She’s a veteran of some 1000 gigs of every shape and size, having toured as a lead guitarist with professional acts playing festival mainstages - alongside the solo-acoustic battering she was simultaneously giving London’s underground live circuit. Whether fronting a band, or surprising unsuspecting audiences with a supercharged acoustic set that leaves nothing in the dressing room, onstage is where Georgia really comes alive.
 

        Georgia and the band’s debut EP, Only One Another (a deceptively out-of-context line from the pocket folk-prog epic Musketeers) was released in late 2021, and was followed by a string of new singles. The band played sold-out shows at Folklore, the Hope & Anchor, and the Star in Shoreditch, connecting with a growing family of fans along the way.

It very nearly didn’t happen at all.

     Faced with a serious and worsening illness for which no obvious cause could be found, Georgia found herself confronting the very real prospect of being unable to handle, or return to, the musical life she loved. The path she had chosen for herself within minutes of picking up her first guitar on her 15th birthday.

      Salvation came in 2024 when, after more than three years of struggle with little real hope of recovery, a diagnosis of a severe hormonal disorder and subsequent successful treatment intervened, saving her creativity, her dreams, and her future. It may very well have saved her life.
 

      Armed with a new lease on life and no small measure of gratitude, Georgia and the band made their definitive return as 2025 began. The signature phoenix pendant Georgia wears remains a constant reminder of survival against the odds and of the redemptive power of music - both to herself, and to fans who are themselves struggling. As the band’s song Set Me Alight concludes…

“…And I would chase it to the world’s end,

To break into eternity,

Lay myself upon the altar,

That it may come into the light through me”.
