Anita George

Fri 20th February 09 | 5:00pm - 5:45pm
Main stage

Powerful vocals tinged with soul. A wandering troubadour with a penchant for folk. Australia’s Anita George is a natural story-teller and evocative songwriter. Her tales of love, loss, travelling on trains with drunken men, hitchhiking through Mexico and Chile, and drug arrests of audience members midway through gigs are matched only by her trademark voice, carefully crafted slide & folk style guitar, occasional toots of the blues harmonica when requested, and charismatic onstage presence. Her tours of Australia, Canada, the United States, Mexico and South America have been met with universal acclaim. With an Indian Heritage, George blends and weaves extensive world-wide influences into her music with songs in English, French and Spanish.
