Georgette Fry

Kingston, Ontario

1994 Juno nominee and veteran of the Canadian music scene, blues and jazz artist, Georgette Fry has dedicated many hours of her 35-year career towards raising funds for and awareness of the needs of women and children in crisis. In 2002, because of her conviction that one does not need to have an education in music in order to reap the physical and psychological benefits of singing, Georgette designed and implemented a non-reading, non-auditioning "pop" choir (Shout Sister!), specifically aimed at women whose so-called musical limitations may have robbed them of prior opportunities to sing in a group setting. - Shout Sister
