The Desert Pride Community Ceter invites you to get out of your heat-induced haze and summer slumber by joining them for a wonderful afternoon of fun,food,raffle prizes and the Incredible Gino - BottomLine Magazine Palm Springs
Self-described "spiritfunknmetalblues" artist Gino is a talented singer whose pipes (especially on Hush) are infused with a gospel edge. Her material co-written with Lanny Perry shows a diversity we like. "Radio Frequency" recalls Roberta Flack; it's a pretty tune that's perfectly sung. "Boom Shake Shake" is an all-out retro funk number that grooves from the giddyup. - Music Connection
"It al comes form my spirit" her eclectic performances, a spirit that cannot be replicated. Gino has a huge voice and a big person on stage. A must see! - Charles Hand- The California
A tribute to Ray Charles and Rita Coolidge. Before Ray Charles made it to the stage the crowd was entertained by the lady in red. "Gino" her sulty voice moved the audience. - Rocky Salmon- The Press Enterprise
Gino is a professiona vocalist from L.A. who has a Diva show with tributes to Aretha, Tina & Ella. It's clear to hear that she has the voice and power to do them and herself. Where waiting for her music to arrive. - Julie Farren- Rancho News
Gino's debut CD truly refects the tast and talents of one of the most powerful singers I have ever heard.
The way in which she moves from track to track, with ease and confidence is sheer evidence that this beautiful person, Gino has gone to another level.
This is your chance to experience, her Fire, Soul and Passion.
Check the Mirror is a must - Rickie Byars Beckwith
Rebirth by Gino
This is her sophomore project and it was well worth the wait. From the very first track "Oh Happy Day" this CD will feel your soul and keep you dancing. My fav's "Sing Your Song",Spirit in the Dark and Imagine. This Live CD puts you there in the room and you feel her energy. This is a must have CD filled with great covers and new original songs as well. As Gino always say's "Life is POP'n Baby" - Michael Gallardo
I Love Christmas music and the new Xmas Soul Cd by Gino dedicated to her Mama "Geneva" is this years best Xmas CD. There is a newness to each song and if you practice New Thought you will love the lyrics, Gino has incorporated. If your like me you'll be playing this CD all year long. Recorded Live,you feel her warmth and love. As Gino sang "Let's just love all through the year" from the song "Have Yourself a Merry Little Xmas". - Billy Masters
