In 2011 Beth was the recipient of The Rick Merrigan Music Project,an annual award run by The Geelong Folk Club and proudly supported by Port Fairy Folk Festival.

In 2012 Beth is set to play solo at The Globe To Globe World Music Festival in Clayton,Melbourne and The Festival of The Sails in Geelong both on The Australia Day Long Weekend. 

For a Melbourne girl who grew up strumming the guitar and singing Joni Mitchell and Edie Bricall songs,Beth George was always destined to sing her own unique style of folk music. A love for a beautiful melody coupled with lyrics that contained real-life stories led Beth to sing a wide range of styles. After gigging steadily in jazz/blues bands Beth began to add more folk tinged original songs to her live act. In 2000 she completed a Bachelor of Arts in Contemporary Music Performance. In 2003 Beth recorded her first solo acoustic EP engineered by Peter Ziersch at Spirit Way Studio.

This led to future collaborations with Beth and Peter co-producing and launching her debut album “Flying Not Falling“at Bennett’s Lane Jazz Club in November 2005. This album received a warm welcome on radio( 3PBS, 3CR , Classic FM ABC) and garnered positive reviews. In 2006 Beth (Guitar/Vocals),Peter (Guitar,Bass,Vocals) and Martha Baartz (Alto Saxophone/Flute) performed Flying Not Falling material in various venues around Melbourne.

In 2007/2008 Beth was very creative indeed! She gave birth to a beautiful little boy and penned many new original songs. After a year of maternity leave in 2009 Beth returned to gigs and headed back into the studio.

Beth launched her second album Like Wild Flowers Dancing at The Port Fairy Folk Festival in March 2011. She recently performed a string of successful gigs at Spenser’s Live,(Melbourne),Irish Murphy’s(Geelong),Hickinbotham Winery(Dromana),The Grandview Hotel(Brunswick). Beth appeared on “Chicken Mary”on Melbourne Radio station Triple R to talk about her new album and sing a few live songs. Beth and Peter performed at The Sandringham Festival in November,2010.

The new album contains a dynamic breadth of styles from rolling country tunes and groove oriented blues to straight ahead heartfelt folk. Like Wild Flowers Dancing is receiving airplay on 3PBS,3RR,The Pulse 94.7 and Joy FM.
