"BRILLIANT!" - - The Chicago Tribune -


"Singer/Songwriter VIRGINIA WAGNER"

"An inventive and interresting singer/songwriter, well worth listening to." - -Dirty Linen Magazine-


"Folk Festival Winner"

Virginia Wagner selected by a panel of judges at the New Jersey Folk Festival to represent their state as top singer/songwriter! - - New Jersey Folk Festival -


""DARKNESS VISIBLE" CD"

"With her latest release, Darkness Visible, she attends to the minefield of relationships gained and then mostly lost. She sings of achingly easy attraction followed by tangled departure, keynoting the intricacies of the human tango." - - Kevin McCarthy, Inernational Folk CD Reviewer -


""DARKNESS VISIBLE" CD"

"Another Masterpiece from Virginia Wagner and from a musician's standpoint this recording achieves organic high fidelity, the acoustic guitar technique projects wonderful crisp strummed and plucked tones you look forward to in every song, the voice is true and pure, and the songwriting etches indelible visuals on your heartstrings. After you find your favorite song on this disc, check out the previous disc Broken Hearted Angel and my favorite song from that one is The Hammer and the Anvil; a classic about a father's best efforts to raise his kids in the heart of Irish-Sicilian New York and the daughter who watches the story unfold, just as with Darkness Visible, it'll knock yer' ass right into next week-" - - Greg Giametta, AudioWarrior.com -


""BROKEN HEARTED ANGEL" CD"

"One of the ten most interresting and wonderful CDs I played for the first time!" - - John Weingart, WPRB Princeton New Jersey

Bio

Virginia Wagner had already established her roots firmly in the Greenwich Village folk-pop scene when she released her first CD, "BROKEN HEARTED ANGEL," on Anvil Records.
The CD was immediately embraced by folk radio programmers and DJs across the country, and tracks were aired on over 400 radio stations. It has been the featured CD on "Acoustic Woods," and on many other syndicated shows.

Virginia has gained popularity while sharing the stage with Jeff Buckley, Chris Whitley, and Canadian rock legend Greg Godovitz (Goddo).

Virginia Wagner has played at many colleges and universities in the U.S. including Princeton, Rutgers, Drew, Fairleigh Dickinson, Boston College, and Centenary College and remains popular with college students.

Gene Shay, an on-air personality at WHYY and WXPN in Philadelphia and the co-founder of the Philadelphia Folk Festival, is an enthusiastic and vocal supporter of Virginia Wagner since first broadcasting her music.

Influenced by songwriters such as Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, and Bruce Hornsby, Virginia Wagner writes what she calls "verbal/musical landscapes," and although her songs explore the darker side of human emotion, her on-stage personality is remarkably sunny and her in-between song conversation frequently evokes laughter from the audience.

Virginia often plays an Alvarez Masterworks acoustic electric guitar. She also plays an Ovation shallow back Elite acoustic/electric guitar. Virginia plays “finger style” and has her own unique sound. Some people are surprised to see her appear as a solo act, expecting a bass player to accompany her. They are amazed to learn that Virginia is incorporating the bass line into her fingerstyle picking! She has been known to stroll out on stage with her G&L electric hollow body. Sometimes she appears with a bass player known as "G-man." Fans describe her voice as “crystal clear” or simply "beautiful" and “mesmerizing!” Her lyrics are deep and thought provoking. Comments from other artists are often the same,“I wish I could write like that!”

Being featured as top artist while touring up and down east coast venues, she appeared in Manhattan, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. She also performed at the Hard Rock Cafe and followed it with an equally majestic performance at Lee's Palace while touring in Toronto.

Her latest CD, "DARKNESS VISIBLE," WAS RELEASED on the Anvil Records label. The CD is available at CD BABY, and also at AMAZON. Her music can be downloaded at itunes, (worldwide distribution!) and 17 other digital websites.

Many DJs in the acoustic/folk world have fulfilled their promises for air play and Virginia continues to fill the air waves across the US and Europe.

Her song, "The Same," was published (June 2007) on the Oasis Acoustic Compilation CD, Vol. VII #8 and appears on track #10. This CD was mailed to over 600 radio stations in the US and new playlists continue to appear at the artist management office of Gregory Galfo!

Her timeless music lives... This is one indie artist to keep your eyes and ears on!
