Praise for GEORGIE WINCHESTER
“Follow The Sound is an eight-track album of indie-folk which showcases Winchester’s knack for warm melodies and simple, yet emotive, story-telling. At the heart of the record is Winchester’s delicate vocal and the theme of following your heart, over your head, and living the life you desire.” -Newcastle Herald
“Free spirited folk layered exquisitely with her natural and seamless vocal, alongside that harmonica and harmonies, there’s sure to be big things afoot for Georgie.”ABC Kath Devaney

After releasing the single ‘Follow The Sound’, Georgie Winchester now releases her beautifully made debut album Follow The Sound; with her unique sound separating her from the rest.
Follow The Sound has a broad eclectic sound, with influences from Kim Churchill, Adam Newling and The Waifs. From ballads to upbeat indie-rock, the album features eight original tracks that tastefully highlight Georgie Winchester’s strong songwriting, production and powerful vocals.
This album follows Georgie’s personal journey and life experiences as she delves into heartbreak, hope and resilience, taking the listening audience on a journey with her through powerful and emotional lyrics. This is beautifully highlighted throughout the album in tracks including ‘Follow The Sound’ and ‘Anything Else’ with themes of growth and evolving.
“The album is a collection of all my best songs I’ve written over the past three years. Each one is different, I didn’t want every song to sound the same. They all have their own story and reason for making the album.” Georgie Winchester
Utilising her audio-engineering degree, Georgie Winchester recorded the majority of ‘Follow The Sound’ in her bedrooms over the past year. She also collaborated with Sean Cook (Maids, Ben Leece, GARVEN) who mixed the album, as well as Joe Carra (Russell Morris, The Mojos, The Teskey Brothers) who mastered the album helping create the striking masterpiece that is Follow The Sound.
“I recorded the album in various bedrooms I’ve occupied in the past year. Five were recorded in my then-home in Mayfield and the other three ‘Best For You’, ‘Follow The Sound’ & ‘Golden Times’ in my current place in Newcastle. I have an audio-engineering diploma from SAE Sydney which has given me so much knowledge on using my updated gear and programs properly. This process works for me as I can take my time and make sure the tracks come out exactly how I want them” Georgie Winchester
Follow The Sound features ‘Friends With The Flies’ and ‘Anything Else’. These tracks focus on finding peace with the complexities within your life, as it follows Georgie’s childhood journey.
“‘Friends With The Flies’ was written reflecting about my childhood farm that had been sold. The song is a memory of some advice my dad gave me whilst walking up the back paddock “all your problems are like these relentless flies buzzing around us – try to be friends with the flies because they’re always going to be there”
“‘Anything Else’ – this track is about me basically living in pubs due to all the cover shows I was playing in 2022. Every meal I ate was a pub feed and I was starting to sink into the peeling walls and die of alcohol poisoning. Despite that, I wouldn’t have done it differently as I learnt a lot about interacting with the people I was watching. I had to reach deep inside myself to find the Georgie Winchester child to take care of her and her dreams.” Georgie Winchester

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
