Gina Sicilia’s 11th studio album Bring It On Home is a tribute to the work of Sam Cooke, a pioneer in R&B, pop, and soul. Recorded by acclaimed producer Fred Mollin, this album features a mix of Sam's original songs and iconic covers he made his own, blending classic hits like "Twisting the Night Away" with deeper cuts like "Blowing in the Wind" and "Lonely Island".
"Through the years I paid tribute to him at live shows and on the occasional recording, but that simply wasn’t enough to showcase just how much I adored everything about the man. It was only fitting to make an entire album professing this love." - Gina Sicilia
Gritty soul and blues singer, Gina Sicilia, always stays one step ahead in her songwriting and music. The Newton, Pennsylvannia-native, who now calls Nashville home, has never been one to sit still musically. On her new album, "Love Me Madly", Sicilia slides fervently and warmly into a wide range of soul music, from pop-inflected, hooky tunes to horn-drenched heart-stoppers. Produced by Cody Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars, with Luther Dickinson performing guitar on tracks including "Misery With You", Gina Sicilia's ninth studio album showcases her ability to get inside a song and inhabit it, so that the lyrics and music flow effortlessly from her body, heart, and soul. Since nabbing a Blues Music Award nomination for the Best New Artist in 2008, Gina has enjoyed great chart and radio success in the genre. 'Tug of War' reached #3 on the Contemporary Blues Album chart and was the #1 Roots album in Tennessee. "Abandoned" reached #2 on the Contemporary Blues Song chart, "He Called Me Baby" reached #1 on the Soul Blues Radio chart, and "I Don't Want To Be In Love" reached #3 on the Contemporary Blues Radio chart. Over the same period, Sicilia opened for the likes of Joe Bonamassa, Kenny Wayne, Shepherd, Joan Osborne, and Beth Hart, among others.
Dynamic singer/songwriter GINA SICILIA will release her eighth studio album, Heard the Lie, on August 31, 2018 via Blue Elan Records. Produced by Grammy-nominated Dave Darling, Siclia's remarkable eighth body of work in just a little over a decade, is a testament to her ever evolving love and practice of blues and country music. "I've never really recorded albums that are straight blues because I've always felt the natural urge to write and record my many musical influences. But I have always tried to write blues-influenced songs with pop sensibilities and pop hooks—catchy songs that people can sing along to. That's something I tried to do even more when writing this album," say's Sicilia on her new release. Over the last decade or so, SICILIA has opened for Joe Bonamassa, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Joan Osborne and Beth Hart, among others. SICILIA integrates down-to-the-roots inspirations seamlessly within the album's bluesy moments. Such as the strutting "Brighter Day," an upbeat duet with Grammy-nominated Janiva Magness, who also co-wrote the song, and the piano-tickled slow burn "Man In The Sky," a showcase for SICILIA 's formidable, smoky voice. "I'm very influenced by being around musicians all the time, and being around so much live music," she says. "Great things can come from being authentic and forming real friendships and connections with other musicians anywhere, but particularly in Nashville."
Dynamic vocalist and live performer Gina Sicilia’s new album, Tug of War, celebrates her status as one of the reigning voices in modern blues and marks a potent evolution in her songwriting. The 11-song set is Sicilia’s seventh release since her emergence as a doyenne of the genre a decade ago. Today, Sicilia’s experience and the fully realized powers of her warm, flexible, emotionally nuanced singing resonate like never before.
Sunset Avenue was the EP from Gina Sicilia's sixth studio release, Gina manages to raise the bar even further. Recording in her native Philadelphia by Grammy-winning producer Glenn Barratt, the album showcases her inimitable, distinct vocals as she throws down a musical gauntlet of soul, power, grit, and energy for others to follow.
