Georgia State Line are an Americana collective hailing from various parts of regional Victoria. The group have enjoyed notable performances, including: shows alongside country icon Bill Chambers at the Tamworth Country Music Festival 2017, billed as part of National Folk Festival 2017 gaining nods from Paul Gough (ABC Radio National), plus have played Terang Country Music Festival 2017 alongside Golden Guitar winners Beccy Cole and Fanny Lumsden. The group will release their debut EP, ‘Heaven Knows’ on July 7th, celebrating with a run of Victorian shows to follow.
“Many Australian artists refer to themselves as Americana or Alt Country these days, but very few deliver the real thing as well as Georgia State Line. Hailing from Melbourne but sounding like Texas or Tennessee, this band represents the true essence of today’s country music.” – Bill Chambers
William Alexander + Cat Canteri will be supporting.
William Alexander
William Alexander is a young folk singer with an old soul. Brought up and inspired by older songs William seeks to keep tradition alive as well as bring forth new stories in the form of his poetic, ballad-style songwriting. Born in Bourke, NSW Alexander spent his youth in the red dirt outback before heading to the bush outside Dubbo, NSW to live in a small community. William was no stranger to the songs of early Bob Dylan and was inspired from a very young age to play guitar, sing and explore the rich history of rural American (and Australian) music.
Cat Canteri
Cat Canteri is a true musician in the sense that she lives for the music, primarily as a solo artist but also with a rich history of collaboration with other bands and songwriters. In 2014 Cat released her debut solo album When We Were Young which shone a spotlight on her folk meets country meets indie-rock style. Her songs documented real life situations and experiences – often with a brave, personal and candid honesty – framed, coloured and shaped by exquisite playing.
