Guitarist, songwriter and singer, Vicki Genfan has been called the "Jimi Hendrix of acoustic guitar." A fiercely original musician and composer, likened in review to a "composite of Johnatha Brooke from The Story and Michael Hedges," Vicki is presently supporting the release of her highly acclaimed debut CD, "Outside the Box." Bill Milkowski writes in Acoustic Guitar magazine, "Her dazzling displays of two handed tapping, bell-like harmonics and funky bass note slapping, along with her deft fingerstyle approach, have guitar aficionados in the house sitting slack-jawed in sheer awe."
Endorsed by Gibson Acoustic Guitars and D'Addario Strings, Vicki has performed extensively to an ever-growing national and international audience. Most recently, a tour in Germany and Austria with Kertin Blodig and Sally Barker, called "Women on Stage," was hailed a critical success and featured stunning performances at the International Open Strings Guitar Festival in Osnabruek, De., and the Edenkoben Guitar Festival (Edenkoben and Berlin, De.) that left audiences spellbound. Vivki's performances have brought her compelling and groundbreaking musicianship into focus, with her distinct and visionary artistry redefining the guitar and creating a new genre of music.
Transmuting jazz, funk, pop, and world music in a contemporary folk alchemy, Vicki draws from a diverse palette of harmonies, rhythms, and modal tunings. Studied in both classical and jazz guitar, these elements fuse with her grace, passion and charisma to create and electrifying and entirely singular sonic journey of depth, inspiration, and pure magic.
Vicki's characteristic sounds and tunes can be heard on numerous recordings for radio and television jingles, the Stephen King book on tape, "Wastelands," and in performances on albums by artists such as Sheena Easton, Donna Summer, Melba Moore and Dee Carstensen. Her debut CD, "Outside the Box," is recieving wide recognition and has won a variety of awards including the Just Plain Folks Music Awards in the categories of best solo instrumental and female singer-songwriter.
When not on the road, Vicki maintains her home base in New Jersey and performs frequently in New York City. She is presently preparing to record her next studio CD at the end of August 2003 at Bennett Studios in Englewood, New Jersey, and planning a US tour soon to follow. In addition, Acoustic Music Records in Osnabruek, De.will be releasing a live CD of Vicki's performance at the Open Strings Guitar Festival scheduled for European release in September 2003..
