An underground folk artist.
Georgia Ruth is a musician from Aberystwyth, Wales. Using folk influences to create a truly unique sound, her debut album Week of Pines won the Welsh Music Prize in 2013 and was nominated for two BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. Georgia collaborated with Manic Street Preachers before going on to release two more critically acclaimed albums (Fossil Scale / Mai) and two EPs (Mai: 2 / Kingfisher). 2024 sees the release of Georgia’s fourth studio album - Cool Head. Recorded in Sain studios, near Caernarfon, the album features contributions by Iwan Huws (Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog), Stephen Black (Sweet Baboo), Gwion Llewelyn (Aldous Harding, Villagers) and Rhodri Brooks (Melin Melyn, Gruff Rhys, Novo Amor). With Gorky's Zygotic Mynci stalwart Euros Childs adding his unmistakable vocals to a couple of songs, this is a truly Welsh affair. It also features string arrangements by Gruff Ab Arwel, whose ear for melody brings a new dimension to the songs. These are performed by Angharad Davies, Angharad Jenkins and Patrick Rimes. The album is co-produced with long-time collaborator Iwan Morgan. “Her own debut is a wonder, full of longing and melody” – MOJO “One of the British folk discoveries of the year” – The Guardian “Georgia is finding her own distinct voice” – Q Magazine
