Chris Webster and Nina Gerber in Concert
Music fans know Chris Webster and Nina Gerber as two consummately skilled and artful musical talents. Webster's voice is uniquely compelling while Gerber's guitar is beautiful and powerful. Together they're magic. With originals, tasteful covers, soulful ballads, jazzy tunes and sweet folk, they promise us an unforgettable evening of great music.
Chris Webster:
A career that began nearly two decades ago as a teen-aged lead singer for Mumbo Gumbo, one of California's best-known regional acts, Chris boasts a successful resume highlighted by four solo releases and one amazing traditional Bluegrass/Americana recording. She brings a pedigree rivaled by few. With astonishing power and passion, her voice reaches magical heights, yet effortlessly turns on a dime to deliver gut-wrenching torch songs and gentle ballads. Combining elegance and grace with a foot-shuffling manner, Webster has a purity and beauty about her that is seldom seen and never forgotten. She can cut to the bone with tender songs of love-gone-wrong, and then slap you upside the head with a fistful of lyrics and a take-charge melody that makes you step aside, stand back, and listen.
Nina Gerber:
A well-known and well-loved member of the local music scene since the mid-1970s, Nina brings a depth and sweetness to her guitar playing that many aspire to and few can match. Her first album as a leader, Not Before Noon, follows two decades that brought her to prominence without ever placing her name on the front of an album cover. Nina has performed and/or recorded with Karla Bonoff, Peter Rowan, Eliza Gilkyson, Nanci Griffith, Greg Brown, Lucy Kaplansky, Mollie O'Brien, Rosalie Sorrels, Laurie Lewis, and many others. Her soulful enhancement of their music easily explains why several artist have returned the favor by appearing on Not Before Noon and on Nina's live CD, Good Music with Good People.
Since her accompaniment of Kate Wolf first earned her recognition, her skills as a performer, producer and arranger have continued to deepen. Her contributions to acoustic music have earned her a following as loyal as for the numerous talents she has accompanied. Nina has a unique ability to completely free herself within an eclectic range of styles. Presented with folk, country, bluegrass, rock, or blues, she is able to fall into leads which have rare reverence for the true feeling of a song, emphasizing taste over technical display. She seeks to express through her hands, rather than to gain attention, and it is this integrity, and the beauty she creates, that help to make her expressions so worthy of attention.
