   About Romney Getty
Style: AOR / MOR (contemporary, original, roots influenced)

Romney (Romney Leigh Getty) is from Ontario Canada and is gaining momentum since the release of her debut CD, Fill in Your Gray. Romney and Bro Jeff have been internationally touring inside the last five years contributing to her twelve years of performing live. She will continue following the release of the second album.

Romney’s debut CD (Fill in Your Gray), completed via her family operated, Augustus Records, has recently been picked up for UK/EU distribution. It has thus far received an excellent reception, garnering critical acclaim and gaining airplay in the UK, US, and Canada and now Australia.

The material has received significant airplay on BBC Radio 2 throughout the UK, and has been featured on other stations such as Spydaradio and South Hams Radio. It has gone out over Air Canada’s En-route in-flight station, and the track "Someone to Somebody" has also seen rotation in the US on stations such as Z107.7 FM in St. Louis, Missouri. Also regular rotation on Australia’s Triple J and 3R. During his nationally syndicated show in UK, BBC Radio 2 presenter, Bob Harris described her as "a woman with a really terrific voice, gritty real stuff". Radio stations throughout Australia such as Triple J and 3CR, Nimbin Radio, to name a few have been spinning the newly released album as well. She is also making her mark as a live performer. At one performance in London, England, Americana-UK noted "...a definate spark. She’s one to watch."

Romney is presently awaiting the release of her second album titled Ramblin Girl. tHe album will be sold at performances and selected stores along with itunes and CD Babty. Produced by Dan Achen (Junkhouse) at Catherine North studio in Hamilton Ont. The second album is now introducing the haunting country sound that lends itself to Romney’s eerie dynamic vocals. It will be released as an enhanced disc including footage of studio sessions and concert shots.

Romney has completed a UK/australian and New Zeland tours of festivals and club shows featuring artists ranging from Joe Cocker, KT Tunstall, Billy Bragg, David Wilcox,The Duhks, The Bottle Rockets, Amy Winehouse,Kevin Breit,New Model Army, and Jill Sobule to Kelly Jo Phelps, the Levellers,Kinnie Star, and Michael Frantis Spearhead,Toby Keith,Fredf Eaglesmith, Shannon Lyon, Dallas Frasca, Liz Stringer, Rosie Burgess,Ash Grunwald etc. Romney and Jeff, together and apart, have performed at festivals in the UK, US, and Canada and Australia, and at club venues ranging from Toronto’s legendary Horseshoe Tavern and Club 279 (Hard Rock Cafe), to New York’s Bitter End and CBGB’s, to Austin’s legendary Antone’s, to London, England’s Borderline as well as Brisbanes Troubadour, Melbournes Espy Hotel etc.

Just thought I'd come back and see if I could get your opinion on the quality of my recordings. They are all made in my living room using my iMac... if you find the time I value your ears.

Romney, Saw you at the Yungaburra Folk Festival in 2006 (?2005).

Heard your CD again today.

I listen to and watch a good many musicians.

It occurred to me yet again that your voice is the most memorable I've heard in last few years.

Keep it up.

Hey Romney great to hear from you. I can't believe that Melissa and Diana are with you right now. What are the chances of that! I just opened for Country Joe MacDonald last night and he encored with "and it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for.." It rocked! peace kenny
