Melissa Ferrick with special guest Natalia Zukerman

Show Description

Known for her emotionally charged lyrics, and powerfully driven guitar work, Melissa Ferrick returns to Joe's Pub for 2 very special intimate shows playing her songs from her latest critically acclaimed release of The Other Side (Right On Records). An amazing performer with lyrics and energy to spare, you've never seen or heard a guitar player quite like her. "A high-energy belter [with] stunning vocal finesse and an ability to play with syntax like Armatrading and Van Morrison." - Boston Globe

Brooklyn Native, Natalia Zukerman's distinctive style has been described in Velvet Park Magazine as having "jazzy flourishes, while nevertheless tipping her pick to the blues with her smoky slide guitar and sweetly seductive come-hither vocals." Although trained in classical guitar, when Natalia began playing slide guitar, studying a bit of jazz and absorbing American roots and folk music, her own style began to emerge. It is a style that is hard to categorize, but that is precisely what makes it so intriguing. From jazz, to blues, to folk, to pop, there's a little of something for everyone in Zukerman's music. Says Andy Friedman of City Salvage Records, "Her bright vocals can send an orchid into bloom, while her delta-slide guitar can open a beer bottle with its teeth."
