CD RELEASE SHOW AT SULLIVAN HALL IN NYC ON OCTOBER 10
VIVA plays
guitar like a flaming sword, a screaming train, a ringing bell, and a
scratching chicken. She sings like Freddy Mercury if he had been a woman
and is influenced by diverse artists and styles from Jimi Hendrix to Dolly
Parton.
VIVA releases RHINESTONES AND RUST on Tuesday,
October 9. The album is more roots-rock leaning, moving on from the
outlaw-glam of her previous releases.
The Aquarian calls VIVA, "The love child of
Joan Jett and Little Richard." Burlington Free Press anoints
her a “guitar wizard" and Scott Bernstein of Glide Magazine’s
Hidden Track dubs her, “One of the more inventive guitarists on the
scene.”
VIVA has played everywhere from Bonnaroo with
Cyro Baptista to Monterey Jazz Fest with Peter Apfelbaum. She
has produced sell out music, burlesque and variety shows at The Slipper Room
and Joe's Pub, and is one of the few females to have been featured in Guitar
Player Magazine (2009). In 2011 she made her NYC theatrical debut as
the musician in Taylor Mac's play WAAFME, which the NY
Times hailed as one of 2011's ten best. She will also be performing
with him throughout this next year as part of his 24 hour-long concert of
imperfection.
For the past 3 years, VIVA has delighted audiences regularly
at NYC's finest underground party, Rubulad, sharing the stage with acts like
The Beets and Lady Rizo.
VIVA will be on tour through the Northeast starting this
week and through September, hitting the East Coast and Midwest in October and
November, anchored by a CD RELEASE SHOW at Sullivan Hall in NYC on
Wednesday, October 10 at 9pm.
