shaman of rock/pop with a commitment written

song-writing and how it can change, elevate and 
enhance lives – a bit grand, but there you go, 
that’s us. Our background is eclectic as it is 
variable; a crossbreed of hard experience, 
achievements and pure stage craft. To transfer 
that passion of playing live and mainline it to

live music burning.

GEORGIA MARIA: ARTIST BIO

     An artist of unbridled energy and singular originality, Georgia Maria melds classic folk songwriting with fierce rock attitude as if the two should never have been parted. Her distinctive, haunting vocal delivers intricately-woven tales of betrayal, passion, and the murkier uncharted depths of the human heart, painting across a musical canvas that is by turns defiant and transcendent, pitch-black and blazing with joyous light.

     Georgia formed her three-piece band in 2021 in the wake of the hellfire that was the COVID-19 Pandemic, yet her story began long before. She’s a veteran of some 1000 gigs of every shape and size, having toured as a lead guitarist with professional acts - alongside the solo-acoustic battering she was simultaneously giving London’s underground circuit. Whether fronting a band, or surprising unsuspecting audiences with a supercharged acoustic set that leaves nothing in the dressing room, onstage is where Georgia really comes alive.

Sophie & The Sticks bring a soulful punch to piano-driven pop, fusing raw storytelling with jazz, rock, and hip-hop influences. Led by powerhouse vocalist and songwriter Sophie Kay, this genre-bending trio from Gloucestershire deliver sharp, honest songs about love, addiction, self-discovery, and the beautiful chaos in between. Their music is fierce, fun, and heartfelt—equal parts lyrical wit, theatrical flair, and moody groove.

Known for their high-energy live shows and magnetic stage presence, the band has played packed rooms across the South West and is now expanding into the London scene. With support from Help Musicians and a debut EP in the works, Sophie & The Sticks are catching ears and turning heads. Think Arctic Monkeys meets Hiatus Kaiyote—with a splash of Amy Winehouse and a rap break for good measure.
