Australian singer songwriter Beth George is no stranger to a variety of styles. She grew up listening to her father play the classical mandolin and the jazz banjo. Beth picked up the mandolin at eight years old and the acoustic guitar at nine. It was from these beginnings that her creative expression took on a distinctly folk/roots flavor.

Beth studied music at Box Hill College of Performing Arts, Melbourne and Southern Cross University,near Byron Bay. She loved jamming with a diverse mix of musicians and sang professionally with folk and funk bands throughout the East Coast of Australia.

1997 saw Beth travel and perform throughout Ireland and London. There she discovered more about the music of her ancestry,Irish/Celtic folk and performed with Irish musicians. On return to Australia Beth performed with a line up of double bass,drums and piano.

In 2003 she began collaborating with musician Peter Ziersch. Peter’s visionary arranging/producing deepened the transformation of Beth’s original sound. This musical marriage resulted in the co-produced debut album “Flying Not Falling“. Beth successfully launched “Flying Not Falling” at Bennett’s Lane Jazz Club in November 2005. Since then Flying Not Falling has received airplay on radio stations 3PBS, 3CR and Classic FM ABC.

Beth is currently recording her follow up album Like Wild Flowers Dancing.
