Born in Virginia, Georgia Randall started singing Gospel in the church before she was even in elementary school. Her early influences were Etta James, Billie Holiday, Big Mama Thornton, and Bessie Smith. Then came Motown and Rock & Roll. At age 15 Georgia caught the ear of Don Tyler, Talent Agent and Manager, and found herself fronting one of the hottest bands in the Hampton Roads area at the time, “The Aliens”. Two years later she hit the road with a Nashville based rock band. Her musical road then led to Boston where she landing jobs fronting established touring show bands “Holiday” and “Mystic Productions”. Randall was often compared to the likes of Tina Turner, Melissa Etheridge, and Janis Joplin and frequently was asked “how does such a big voice come out such a tiny person.
”Many years later, Georgia relocated to Florida and started her own blues band. After many frustrations and disappointments in trying to keep a group together, she decided to take a few guitar lessons in the hopes of pursuing a solo career. Within three years she was booked regularly around the Brevard County area in Florida. At the encouragement of a local singer/songwriter, Georgia dipped her toe into the songwriting waters and in 2018 she released two albums, “Fly On, and "These Days”
She won two awards at the 2019 Indie Music Convention for Best Blues Vocal for “You Lied to Me” and Best Blues Song for “Fever”. Her third album “Help Wanted” was released in January 2020 and maintained a chart position in the Roots Music Report Top 50 Blues/Rock albums since its’ release. The album has also ranked in the Top 50 Virginia albums.
With a new album, “Hound Dog”, due to be released in early 2021, this seasoned blues/rock/soul singer/songwriter has only just begun to carve out her place in the music world.
