Vicki Genfan and Sally Barker met during the 2001
'Women on Stage' tour of Germany and have been firm friends ever since. Genfan,
the first woman to win Guitar Player magazine’s Guitar Superstar Competition,
is a dazzling instrumentalist, with a high-energy stage presence, who plays and
writes with her distinctive percussive 'slap-tap' acoustic guitar technique.
Sally Barker, who was personally asked to open for Bob Dylan on his 1990 German
tour, has the ability to lift the words off the page and can move people to
tears armed with that 'bucket-full of soul' voice.
Both Vicki and Sally draw their inspiration from
folk, jazz, pop, soul and world music and a mutual respect of each other's
talents has prompted them to tour together again. Each will perform their
own show, supported by the other when called upon, and then combine their
talents with a stunning set of vituosity to bring the evening to a stupendous
climax!
“If I could play like Vicki, I’d stay home and
entertain myself.” - Steve Vai
“Her enormous vocal range and stupendous control can
relax or rouse at will – she coaxes her voice from that of a mild modern
English rose to raw throated blues.”
- a review of Sally at
the Edinburgh Fringe Festival
