A TRIO of Adelaide sisters isgoing to be serenading AliceSprings with their folk popthis weekend.

Georgia Germein and theGermein Sisters are going tobe at the Rock Bar on Satur-day night and will be playing amixture of originals andcovers.

Georgia, 20, came to AliceSprings last year for theMusicNT InTune conferenceand was inspired by the town.

She said: ‘‘I’d only beenthere when I was really young,so I didn’t really remembertoo much.

‘‘When I came for InTune, Ithought the town was reallycool and found some reallycool venues.

‘‘My sisters and I are in themiddle of a national tour andwe didn’t want to miss out onseeing the NT — we’ve justdone a bunch of shows inQueensland and WesternAustralia.

‘‘After these shows we’ll begoing to Melbourne, then offto Ireland to record our firstalbum before touring Canadaand Europe.’’

Georgia and her two oldersisters, Ella and Clara, startedplaying music together pro-fessionally after Georgia leftschool two years ago.

She said: ‘‘I grew up withmusic all around me.

‘‘Both of my sisters weremusicians and we all loveddoing it, so we decided to forma band together.

‘‘We just do our own thing —we don’t try to sound like

anybody. Some people havesaid we sound like The Corrsbecause we’re a sibling bandwith a pop/folk sound.

‘‘We started playing classi-cal music when we were kids,but then moved on to otherinstruments and styles, which

I think contributes to oursound.’’

While the girls play originalmusic, they also have somecover songs for people to singalong to.

‘‘We have everything fromFleetwood Mac to Katy Perry

and U2,’’ Georgia said.

‘‘I’ll also be playing some ofthe music from my solo albumwhich I released in 2010.’’

Georgia Germein and theGermein Sisters will be at theRock Bar from 9pm Saturday.
