Virginia Wagner, had already established her roots firmly in the Greenwich Village folk-pop scene when she released her debut CD, "BROKEN HEARTED ANGEL" on Anvil Records.
Her 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 many other syndicated shows.
John Weingart, host of "Music You Can't Hear on the Radio," a show that has aired since 1974 on WPRB-Princeton, NJ listed BROKEN HEARTED ANGEL as one of the "ten most interesting and wonderful records" he played for the first time. He is not alone in that opinion.
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.
Dirty Linen Magazine called Ms. Wagner "an inventive and interesting singer songwriter, well worth listening to."
Influenced by songwriters such as Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, 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 Elite "shallow back" acoustic/electric. Virginia plays “fingerstyle” and has her very own unique sound. She has been known to stroll out on stage with a Taylor or occasionally a PRS electric. Many people 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, DC. She also performed at the Hard Rock Cafe and followed it with an equally majestic performance at Lee's Palace while touring in Toronto.
