This artist is one that I was very happy to have follow me on Twitter. Gina Sicilia is from Philadelphia and can definitely sing the blues. I very much enjoyed doing the research for this post. Take this song for instance.
Addicted – Gina Sicilia
Some good hard-driving blues. She has recorded 3 albums to date, “Allow Me To Confess ” in 2007 and “Hey, Sugar” in 2008. A third, “Can’t Control Myself” was released in 2011. A 4th is due to be released soon. She has a powerful voice, made for this kind of music. As usual, in my mind, the proof is in the live performance. Take a listen and judge for yourself as she gives her version of Ike and Tina Turners Crazy Bout You Baby.
Crazy ‘Bout You Baby – Gina Sicilia
Hi,
Wow, she does sing the blues very well, a great voice.
Yes, very well. I love doing these posts. These are people that are serious artists doing all the right things to move along the music chain. I find lots of great artists just through their own self promotions. Love it, love it.
that was not the voice I was expecting to come out of her.
But it’s a perfect blues voice. Good pick, John.
Reminded me of someone, but I can’t place it yet. I’ll let it roll around in my head for a bit…
I got the same problem, I saw Rita Chiarelli (Canadian, but not very well known) once in a cabaret and she reminds of her. Not the one I’m thinking of though.
