We Were Promised Jetpacks -- Act On Impulse

Alejandro Rose-Garcia, better known as Shakey Graves, still brings his Samsonite luggage on the road with him as an instrument, but his shows are no longer just a one-man band experience. This new sound is obvious in his Studio Z performance, but Rose-Garcia made sure to note that his shows now are an equal mix of his trio and his Samsonite companion. His latest album, And The War Came, is in stores now!

Last night I couldn’t fall asleep
thoughts of you were haunting me.
I didn’t think that you’d remember me at all
I am so small…
so small.

So I just lay there and whispered to the sheets
” Im so tired you hear, I can’t go to sleep”
And Im a modest mouse stuck between two walls
but no one calls…
no one calls.

So I give up, I give up you hear?
One thing I am good at is a disappear.
You don’t know me, you don’t know me and you don’t wanna know
Im just too small…
Im just too small.

You don’t know me
you don’t know me and you don’t wanna know
You don’t know me
you don’t know me and you don’t wanna know
so I give up, I give up you hear?

Bulgarian-born Geri X is a composer, a musician and a singer hard to put a label on. Fans and critics spotted it from the moment she broke onto the Tampa Bay Music Scene: Geri is an artist with a singular sound you have not heard before. One can see it in the way she confidently plays her Babicz guitar, eyes half open and soul pouring out with a rich, crisp and mesmerizing voice.

What started with a classical training in piano, guitar and voice, evolving out of a broad and eclectic blend of influences, has become wonderfully her own. In the process of sharing her songs, Geri bares her soul to ease the audience’s emotions. It is the strength of the voice and the charge to each word that draws them to a halt. “Geri X is a poet, rebel, and a singer with a voice that is demanding to be heard. She carries the intensity of a Mike Tyson punch with the serene beauty of one of the best female vocalists of this era” (L.A. Times)

She has received countless accolades for her work, including Creative Loafing’s Best Singer Songwriter for 2 years in a row, as well as playing Summerfest and Steel Bridge Song Festival in the last few years.

Aside from being a workaholic and an alluring performer, often carrying out few shows in a day, Geri is a prolific songwriter. This is a fundamental quality, which combined with her work ethic and the gift of sharing make her a true artist: one you can connect to.

Whether with a full band or on stage with just a guitar, she is simply captivating. One only needs to experience it.
