Georgia Heers

Georgia Heers is a vocalist and composer hailing from Greer, South Carolina. In 2017, she graduated from the Fine Arts Center in Greenville and began her undergraduate studies in Jazz at Oberlin College and Conservatory. She moved to New York to pursue her graduate studies at The Juilliard School. Since graduating in 2023, Georgia’s voice has taken her to many legendary venues throughout the city. She has had the pleasure of bringing her bands to places like Mezzrow, Dizzy’s and Minton’s Playhouse and has collaborated with musicians at venues such as The Jazz Gallery and Smalls. She’s had the blessing of working with inspirational artists like Terrell Stafford, Cyrus Chestnut, Clarence Penn, Rodney Whitaker, Camila Meza, and Joe Farnsworth. Some of these collaborations have taken Georgia to prestigious venues outside of NYC such as Chris’ Jazz Cafe in Philly, The Jazz Showcase in Chicago, The Montclair Jazz Festival, The Kennedy Center in DC and Bebop Club in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Most recently, Georgia Heers has been awarded a grant through Chamber Music America’s Performance Plus program, funded through the generosity of the Doris Duke Foundation. With the help of this grant, she will record her debut album under the artistic direction of Cécile Mclorin Salvant.
