Georgie James is a new, classic four-piece pop/rock outfit from Washington D.C., featuring John Davis (ex-drummer of the defunct Q and Not U) and D.C.-based singer-songwriter Laura Burhenn.

Having met through mutual friends, Davis and Burhenn (who had released 4 solo albums on her own Laboratory Records prior this project) found out that they both had an affinity for retro-pop from the 1950-70’s; subsequently, they decided to start working together as a band derived from said style. Davis would handle guitars and drums arrangements while Burhenn oversaw the Rhodes electric piano - both would share vocal duties. A few hours later they had written a few songs, and decided this was a worthy project to take aboard.

Later in 2005 the duo went to record at the Dance Place in Washington with producers Chad Clark and T.J. Lipple, and by November they produced a 7-song demo (Demos at Dance Place), showcasing a general flurry of infectious, danceable, high-octane power pop.

On May 15, 2007, they announced that their debut full-length, Places, would be released on Saddle Creek in the fall.
