AS HER father is George Jones and her mother was Tammy Wynette there was always a strong chance that their only daughter Georgette Jones would become a musician.
Galway will get a chance to see Georgette Jones in action and how she is continuing the C&W traditions of her mother and father when she plays The Live Lounge at the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa this Saturday.
The show is part of the singer-songwriter’s current Irish tour to promote her new album Strong Enough To Cry.
Georgette admits that in her musical career she had to take time to “find a sound for myself in an attempt not to be compared to my parents”. However her mother was a significant influence on her daughter and a source of sound advice.
“I was very close to my mother,” says Georgette. “She raised me and taught me so much I know. My mom always told me that I would come around to my senses and real country music some day and I did because it’s where my heart really is. Country is what I love to sing and what means the most to me.”
At the show Georgette will be paying tribute to the music of both her parents, as well showcasing her own writing talents.
