Geri Childs Duo
Jazz and contemporary standards

This week at the pub, vocalist Geri Childs with excellent jazz guitarist Tim Bedner.

Geri has been a familiar face to Ottawa audiences for many years. Her repertoire mixes jazz and contemporary standards, chosen out of her love of melody and lyric. This eclectic repertoire allows Geri to entertain audienceswith a wide range of appeal to fans of many forms of contemporary music.
 
She recorded the CD Intimate State of Mind with Mark Ferguson, the well known Ottawa musician and arranger. It was released in 1997. In that same year, Geri moved outside Canada to begin what turned into a series of postings abroad. She lived in Trinidad, New York City and Seattle over the next 13 years.
 
Living abroad enabled Geri to broaden her musical experiences even more. She performed with the Desperadoes, an internationally acclaimed steel pan orchestra, and a number of Caribbean jazz artistswhile living in Trinidad and was a member of a 20-voice professional jazz choir in Manhattan.
 
Now re-established in Ottawa, Geri continues to sing, using the various themes and influences she has acquired to delight music lovers with captivating performances that range from lighthearted to soulful and torchy.
