Saturday, March 3rd | 8 pm | Small Event Hall | $10 in advance
Gina DeLuca will be headlining this year at Cindy Bray’s Second Annual Birthday Blues Bash. Cindy can’t figure out a way she would rather celebrate her birthday than to have a blues concert and to raise money for GCCR and SAGE. The concert is Saturday, March 3rd at 8 pm here at GCCR in the Small Event Hall, unless the response is so overwhelming that we have to move it to the big hall (wouldn’t that be wonderful!?).
Advance Tickets are $10 or $15 at the door – remember folks, you’re supporting a great cause as well as having a great time celebrating. There will be finger foods and, of course, cake provided. Beverages will be available for a donation. Proceeds will be split between GCCR and SAGE Central Virginia. If you like the blues, you’ll love Gina! Listening to great blues is a great way to chase away those birthday blues.
A little bit about Gina… Nothing leaps off of the page like a little primary color, which is why redheads are so popular. Red is the color of love, the color of passion, the color of power. When you first see Gina DeLuca, you immediately notice her fiery red curls, and brilliant blue eyes – equal parts playful and mysterious. Her presence is confident and sincere; deeply introspective, and she is in complete command of her audience before the first note is played or word is spoken. When you first HEAR Gina, you are swept up in her innate vocal ability. She is raw power, seductive finesse, and shades of soul – all brought together by a single, pure, natural voice.
Her natural style, and deep understanding of the blues are evident in every song. From soft, delicate whispers to powerful, defiant wails, Gina bears her soul for all to witness. Red truly is the color of love, passion, and power. Gina currently has 2 CD’s available “Angel with Dirty Wings” and “Blue-Eyed Soul.” Come enjoy the show and take her home with you…
Gina is influenced by Nina Simone, Annie Lennox, Brian Setzer, Ray Charles, Eva Cassidy, Susan Tedeschi, Aretha Franklin, Joss Stone and Saffire -The Uppity Blueswomen, who covered her original song “Nothing in Your House” on their last CD “Having the Last Word.”
Again, Tickets are be $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Remember folks, you’re supporting a great cause as well as having a great time celebrating!!! Tickets will be available at Diversity Thrift and DT2 on Wednesday, January 14.
