Chris Webster and Nina Gerber

Music fans know Chris Webster and Nina Gerber as two of the most skilled and artful musical talents. Websters voice is uniquely compelling while Gerbers guitar is beautiful and powerful. Together theyre magic. With originals, tasteful covers-soulful ballads, jazzy tunes and sweet folk, a great show.

Chris Webster is a soul singer. Her voice conveys a passion that connects with the longings of her audience. She expresses sometimes-troubled feelings that everyone understands. But Webster goes beyond pain to hope; her voice can be a compassionate balm to the troubled soul. Performing live, her intensity brings a hush to every room she plays. Those who see her hear it: Chris Webster is the real deal, a singer who transcends genre.

Guitarist Nina Gerber is at last beginning to dare the light after carving a career out of what some might call the shadows. Her first album as a leader follows two decades which brought her to prominence without ever placing her name on the front of an album cover.

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, always emphasizing taste over technical display. She seeks to express through her hands, rather than gain attention, and it is this integrity which makes her expressions worth intent listening.

Since her accompaniment of Kate Wolf first earned her recognition, her acute skills as performer, producer and arranger have continued to deepen. Her contributions to acoustic music have earned her a following as loyal as the numerous high talents she has accompanied and/or recorded with: Karla Bonoff, Peter Rowan, Eliza Gilkyson, Nanci Griffith, Greg Brown, Lucy Kaplansky, MollieOBrien, Rosalie Sorrels, Laurie Lewis, and many others. Her soulful enhancement of their music easily explains why several return the favor by appearing on Ninas live CD.

Together they deliver a dynamic heart felt evening of music not to be missed!
