Hannah Georgas

Hold me like a child, run your fingers through my hair

Hannah Georgas. "Don't Go." For Evelyn, Beetle Bomb Music Inc. Under Exclusive license to Dine Alone Music Inc., 2016.

I had the pleasure of seeing Vancouver-born and now Toronto-based Hannah Georgas perform this Friday at the Pandora offices in Oakland for our regular artist "Whiteboard Sessions."

Stripped down to just a keyboard, guitar, and her ethereal vocals, Hannah gave a hauntingly beautiful rendition of this song, which she described as being about the "unbearable pain" of losing her mother.

There's something so comforting to me about hearing a Canadian accent, especially in song. Hannah's voice reminds me of the great Leslie Feist and I simply adore the way she sings the lyrics "lying on your couch." Enjoy, SVP.
