HEADLINERS
The evening's finale features two dynamite indie acts: special guest star Greg Holden, a British
singer-songwriter who has been receiving rave reviews on both sides of the Atlantic: "one of the best singer-songwriters," a "fabulous voice," "his songwriting capabilities seem creatively endless,""angelic-voiced [and] ubertalented."
Greg has had over 850,000 views of his "In the Living Room" series of videos of him talking and playing songs literally from his living room. These have been the worldwide 'Featured Spotlight Artist' on the YouTube Home Page. His debut album A Word In Edgewise is creating a buzz: "five stars" -- "fab!"
Our closing act is the amazing Victoria Vox. Ukelele-rocker Vox wowed event-goers at last year's Literary Cabaret and they insisted that she return this year. "How does she pull it off?" one reviewer asks. "She writes beautiful songs and has the voice" -- a "wonderful talent." Vox's mix of ukelele and rock has been dubbed "infectiously enjoyable."
Her second album, Chamelon, was the First Place Winner in the 2009 International Acoustic Music Awards. She has gained renown not only for her rocking uke and inspired song-writing, but also her "mouth trumpet," mimicing with stunning accuracy the melodius sounds of a trumpet. You've got to hear it to believe it.
Her growing number of fans eagerly await her soon-to-be-released third album, Exact Change. When you hear her, you will know what the fuss is all about.
