Georgia Rae Family Band
Kelly Jo and Georgia Rae are sisters and a song writing duo originally from Richmond, IL, a small town on the WI border. The inseparable sisters anchor the Georgia Rae Family Band which is made up of mom on guitar, Mykal Baas on Mandolin, and Joe Burie on the stand up bass. The band has always pushed the envelope of traditional music creating a mix of Americana, contemporary folk, roots, and a little jazziness, flavored with sister harmonies and youthful energy. Their original songs are cleaver, catchy and strung with meaning and life lessons of their experiences growing into young women and adulthood. |
Georgia Rae has had a love for the violin since the age 5. A lot of her enthusiasm as a child came from the joy it brought to her when she would play daily with her mom. The two of them would work together for the next 13 years to prepare for fiddle contests throughout the United States. She has won 7 state championships, and one national twin fiddle championship. At age 12 started performing with her family band to fund music lessons when her dad got laid off from his construction job. With performing came the opportunity to teach private lessons, helping her realize that teaching and performing were her passion. In High school, Georgia Rae studied online so that she could have more time to practice and find gigs. She unknowingly started paving a path towards independence and entrepreneurship. When it came time to think about college, she auditioned for Berklee College of Music but did not receive a scholarship. So instead of going to college decided to go all in and learn along the way. Georgia Rae is now a full time musician and teacher, and provides private lessons, workshops, and has 3 different projects she performs with.
