Without doubt, Genevieve Chadwick is an extraordinary performer who exudes raw energy by the bucket load with songs that speak of the complexity of human experience and her passion for life.
With her original brand of blues and roots, Chadwick has the power to enthral an audience with her passionate songs full of rich melodies, sung with a voice that’s amazingly gravel-like and smooth all at once.
Comparisons to the great Janis Joplin, Tracy Chapman and Melissa Etheridge have been made because of her impassioned, husky vocal delivery, yet Chadwick makes her own music on her own terms, and with her own unique voice and guitar playing.
There’s no doubt she’s already made her mark, but that mark is about to get a whole lot bigger with the release of her much-anticipated second album produced by Grammy award-winner Mark Johnson.
This blues, roots and world music album is a collaboration between Chadwick and the diversity of the international musicians from the Playing For Change band.
On stage, she inevitably lives up to her reputation for giving her all, she looks like an angel, roars like a lion and plays guitar like a demon.
Chadwick tirelessly toured her popular debut album Riding the Wind, Forgetting Time, captivating audiences all over Australia and winning her appearances at many major music festivals.
She will play at the Bermagui Beach Hotel from 4pm on Sunday.
