Do you know Georgie James? Even if their MySpace quote makes it seem otherwise, this is a band, not a person. Comprised of singer-songwriter Laura Burhenn and former Q & Not U drummer John Davis, the duo has proved quite capable of performing various styles of music, making it that much harder to box them in (a prime example being last year's enjoyable Places on Saddle Creek). And if there's one "ever-present" element in a Georgie James tune, it's the "ever-lovable" hook, which will be on full display as they perform their "Duo Set" (acoustic and without additional musicians) on most of the dates on their upcoming tour.
If this whole shebang sounds like your bag, make yourself "ever-present" (maybe just present) at one of their shows -- the first one kicks off this Saturday in Washington, D.C. -- even if your knowledge of them is less than scholarly. Don't be confused; Georgie James scholars are welcome at every show.
