Two inspired musicians present an evening of acoustic guitar magic.

Weaving together elements of folk, jazz, classical, and world music into a seamless style that is uniquely his own, Teja Gerken's playing reflects his diverse musical interests. Many of his compositions employ alternate tunings, two-handed tapping, and percussive effects; others simply rely on his keen sense of melody and movement. Teja's repertoire, while focusing on his fiery originals, is augmented by Irish traditionals, the occasional jazz standard, and improvisations on themes by classical composers. Teja recently released his second album, Postcards.

A fiercely original guitarist, composer, and singer, New Jerseyite Vicki Genfan transmutes jazz, funk, pop, and world music in a contemporary folk alchemy. Trained in both classical and jazz guitar, she draws from a diverse palette of harmonies, rhythms and modal tunings, fusing all with her passion and charisma to create an electrifying and unique sonic journey. Her most recent CD is Up Close & Personal.
