Nina Gerber and Chris Webster Perform Live at Wave Street Studios An intimate evening of masterful songwriting and guitar artistry
Chris Webster:
“Webster’s is an authoritative voice that manages to make existential angst, romantic confusion and spiritual longing sound uncommonly appealing. Each note she sings conveys a probing,
acute sensitivity to the little complications of life and love, with a sexy edge to boot.”
—-No Depression Magazine
“Webster’s magic derives from those ineﬀable qualities of vocal grain, emotional nuance, timing and phrasing possessed by the truly great and moving singers of any style.”
—- San Francisco Bay Examiner
Nina Gerber:
"The evening's real star... Gerber usually says little and lets her guitar do the talking. She is a not-so-underground legend. Her wide-ranging folk-country- jazz-blues stylings have backed dozens of performers on stage and record.”
—- Oakland Tribune
"Remarkable accompanist... A star in her own right... Gerber's contribution is magnificent…"
—- San Francisco Examiner
Chris and Nina:
“Music fans around here certainly know both Chris Webster and Nina Gerber as two of the most skilled and artful musical talents we’ve had the pleasure of hearing. Webster’s voice is uniquely compelling while Gerber’s work on guitar is breathtakingly both beautiful and powerful. Together they are magic. Webster and Gerber join together for an exquisite evening of original tunes and tasteful covers-soulful ballads, jazzy tunes, and gorgeous folk.
Chris Webster is a very special singer. She can rock, she’s got soul, and most of all she can find the tiniest hints of emotion in any song and make it reverberate in our soul for a mighty long time. Also, she’s grown into a major league songwriter, whose lyric takes on love, lost love, and the general vicissitudes of life are at diﬀerent times poignant, funny, introspective, and exhilarating. Stylistically Chris runs from country, pop balladry, jazz, folk, blues, and whatever she does she brings sensitivity, strength, and an emotional breadth that few singers can match. Of course, many people around here are very familiar with Webster as one of the lead vocalists in local super group Mumbo Gumbo.
Guitarist Nina Gerber has a long history in Northern California music performing guitar accompanying dozens of artists including Kate Wolf, Steve Seskin, Ferron, Dave Alvin and most recently Karla Bonoﬀ. She is exquisitely tasteful as an accompanist on both acoustic and electric guitar. Together Webster and Gerber create magic like few others.”
