Vicki hears music that ordinary people do not. Luckily for us, she knows how to share her gift with people of every age. Vicki has taken a musical "quantum leap", changing the way an acoustic guitar makes music, exhibiting a mastery of the acoustic guitar that borders on pure alchemy ? and in fact, audiences can hardly believe she's got only two hands. An almost constant companion to her 'slapping', 'tapping' and use of 25 different guitar tunings, are her pure, expressive vocals that dig deep and stir the soul. Vicki writes and beautifully sings her own brand of music and lyrics while putting her unmistakable imprint on some of our classic 'hits' like the Beatles' Norweigian Wood and Marvin Gaye's What's Going On. As a bonus, Vicki's audiences feel they are part of something special, through her stories, her warmth and her humor.
In the past four years Vicki has been recognized among the world's greatest guitarists and musicians at festivals such as the International Montreal Jazz Festival, Germany's Open Strings Guitar Festival, Italy's Soave Guitar Festival, as well as at venues and Performing Arts Centers across the US. With 3 CDs behind her and multiple awards, Vicki continues to reach beyond musical borders and into new territory, as with her recent acquisitions of the 6 string banjo and 12 string guitar.
A passion for teaching and sharing her inspiration keeps Vicki busy in between performances at clinics and music camps around the globe. Future goals include an instructional DVD, new musical collaborations, more US Festivals and continued European touring. THE NEW CD, 'UNCOVERED' will be out late summer or fall of 2008 - Vicki's second title for the German Label, Acoustic Music Records, and of course you can hear and purchase ALL of Vicki's CDs and tunes at www.cdbaby.com/cd/genfan3
"Whether Genfan is edging into rock or swirling into folk and jazz, this is fiery, living music."

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.

Hi, Vicky!! I will thank you for your comments about my new song, a bossa in French, “Revenir dans ta Vie”. God bless you! www.myspace.com/cristianrosemary
Revenir dans ta Vie Lyrics & music: Cristian Rosemary). J'aimerais revenir dans ta vie j'aimerais retrouver la magie j'aimerais reposer dans ton lit d’où je ne devrais jamais être sorti.
Le froid a envahi la nature comme l'hiver qui est rentré dans mon cœur j'ai couru dans cette vie à toute allure en risquant ta tendresse, ta chaleur. Les ombres ont caché la lumière comme le bruit a couvert le silence. Les ombres ont caché mon soleil qui brillait grâce à ta présence.
Les rêves qu'on avait...où sont-ils? Leur as-tu permis de mourir? Les rêves qu'on avait...où sont-ils? Leur as-tu permis de partir? Pense à moi un petit peu, pense, ma chère. Je regrette de t'avoir fait pleurer, mais tes larmes généreuses m'ont soignées. Es-tu prête, mon amour, es-tu prête?
Tu es la seule. Le sais-tu? Le sais-tu? Je le sais maintenant, je le sais. Est-ce trop tard pour rentrer dans ton âme? Est-ce trop tard pour rentrer dans ton corps? Les années ont passé comme le vent. et pourtant, nous gardons notre amour. Nous mourrons plein de rides, amoureux, amoureux, comme toujours, si tu veux. <bR/
