Georgia Wood
Georgia Wood is an exceptional singer and entertainer who has worked internationally in musical theatre, jazz, soul and cabaret. A long-time friend and co-performer with Deryn the musical chemistry and fun they have performing together is infectious and she welcomes the chance to share this with the regulars of the Ivory Lounge.
Her repertoire is polished, perfected and particular, her presentation impeccable with classic soul, pop and jazz standards interpreted from a place of discernment, intelligence, joy, and wit.
She recently recorded favourite songs for her debut album, Happenstance, with Standard Funk Ensemble, a collection of some of Auckland finest jazz musicians and produced by award-winning producer Chris Nielson. www.georgiawood.co.nz

"...... Georgia Wood is a superb hostess ... smouldering ... frisky ... what impresses is the energy Wood pours into each number ... her performance was wonderfully fun ..."

“Georgia On My Mind indeed ... subtly beautiful ... Impossible to doubt her versatility and skill when handling a range of musical styles ... full of flair and personality”
David Collins, Evening Standard March 2010
“Georgia Woods' vibrant voice and dynamic presence sails with ease and versatility through a lively and entertaining parade of famous blondes. There is never a dull moment in 50 minutes of high octane singing and witty presentation - don't miss it."
Max Cryer, reviewing ‘Highlights – the blondes & their songs’ February 2010
