Geode members: Jennifer Giles, Alrick Huebner and Susan McMasterSince its inception in 1995, the music-poetry hybrid, GEODE has performed at the National Arts Centre, the Ottawa Folk Festival, Blue Skies, the Elora Fringe, the Kingston Jazz Fringe, the Ottawa International Writers' Festival, Poetry in the Park, Rasputin's, and the National Gallery of Canada.

GEODE’s first CD, Dangerous Times, was released in 1997. It was followed by 1998’s CD, SugarBeat Music & Poetry. A third CD, on which they are joined by musical friends Mike Essoudry and Petr Cancura, GEODE Music & Poetry (for the gems glinting inside grey shells) came out in 2000.

The CD Until the Light Bends (2004), captures a Geode show at the National Arts Centre presented in 2004 by Susan McMaster, Jennifer Giles, Alrick Huebener, David Broscoe, John Higney, Mark Molnar, and Jamie Gullikson. Most or all of these fine players will appear ensemble on February 16. This will be Geode's first Music & Poetry Performance since 2003 and likely their last. A one-time retrospective with new work, make sure to see one of the founding performance groups in Canada, featuring special guests David Broscoe and John Higney.
