With stylistic comparisons ranging from Joni Mitchell to Alicia Keys, Gina's delivery is versatile and captivating. Her fan base continues to grow, drawing audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
A performer at the core, Gina’s live shows offer everything from thought-provoking and haunting songs to goofy melodies and crowd participation. With accompaniment from the multi-instrument talent Roel Martinez (guitar, mandolin) and seasoned percussionist Chris Cordero (cajon, shaker), Gina’s gigs are ever-evolving and always new.
