Whether alone or with inventive, intuitive drummer Anthony Zollo, 22-year-old Bulgarian-born Geri X never fails to move attentive listeners. Her deceptively straightforward lyrics draw you in, and her hypnotically precise fingerpicking style turns the heads of the other acoustic players in the crowd, but its her voice that seals the deal. By turns fragile and bold, and always tinged with an alluring hint of accent, Geri Xs vocals perfectly fit her musics combination of the timeless and the contemporary its uniquely hip and eclectic American post-folk, but sounds like it learned about love and heartbreak somewhere unfathomably older than here. www.purevolume.com/gerix.
