Georgia Rose: Peterborough’s Rising Indie Voice

Georgia Rose shows up like a voice we’ve been waiting for—soft on the edges, sharp in the heart. As a young singer-songwriter from the Peterborough area, she started writing songs in the summer of 2022, and before long she was stepping onto open mic stages, getting her feet wet with gigs, and proving her voice deserved the spotlight.

Her debut single, “Summer Weather,” dropped on Valentine’s Day—and it’s more than just a love-song gesture. It sets the tone: airy indie pop with hooks that linger, guitars that chase sunlight, vocals that feel like confessions. The track sounds like someone coming alive, caught between first loves and late nights, between hopeful longing and honest reflection.

By late 2023 and into 2024, she was no longer just practicing in her bedroom—she placed top-3 in Peterborough’s Got Talent, took first in the Kawartha Lakes Alliance of Singer/Songwriters with “Where Did We Go?”, and started sharing stages with bands, both solo and backed. There’s confidence there now, not forced but earned. Songs and sets that know their way around emotion.

She doesn’t pigeonhole herself—while her main genre is indie pop, she dips into a wide range of covers and plays with band and solo arrangements. That means a set could go from a soft acoustic moment into a full-band swell that lifts off the ground.

Her list of gigs show someone building momentum, not waiting for luck. Shows at The Silver Bean Café, Boston Pizza in Lindsay, Black Horse Pub or The Biltmore in Oshawa—each one a chance for people to lean in and feel the pulse of a young artist stepping into her own.

Georgia Rose isn’t trying to flash brilliance—she’s forging it. The songs leave space, fingerprints, moments you’ll hum later. The journey feels just started, but already there’s weight in the way she carries the melody. If you care about indie pop that breathes—and about seeing someone catch their own fire—Georgia Rose is one to watch.
