Georgie Jessup

Georgie Jessup, a Baltimore area songwriter, is influenced by everything from old school country to Memphis R&B, placing her music firmly in the “cosmic” Americana Music genre. Her lyrics reflect her outspoken advocacy for animal rights, Native American issues, transgender rights and environmental sanity.

She has an extraordinary ability to encourage audiences to look deeply into their prejudices and other transgressions. Consequently, audiences tend to respond emotionally, if not always lovingly. Georgie has developed a successful career by challenging musical styles, personal identifications, and storybook history lessons. She has released six CD’s: American Holocaust, Sweet Grass Smoke, Winkte & Crazy Sacred Dogs, Woman in A Man’s Suit, Working Class Hero, and Philosopher Dogs.

The past few years she has been doing live performances, solo, with her band The Philosopher Dogs, and as a member of The Cosmic Cowgirls, at local venues.

“Georgie sings from the heart, like a rare flower in a wilderness.  She speaks to us about the deepest issues. Issues that all of us should care about, but so    many of us pretend don’t affect us.”  blues diva Candye Kane.

She has five, well-received, CDs available.
