About Me

My Official Web Site www.IngridGerdes.com Is now Live!
Now a Bostonian, Ingrid Gerdes was born and raised in Missouri where people say she was born singing. With a degree from Berklee College of Music and countless honors and awards to her name, Gerdes is considered one to watch. Called “The Next Big Thing,” by the Chicago Sun-Times and hailed as “one of the most interesting and versatile singers on the circuit today, both technically fantastic and true to herself,” by a prominent DJ. Her music is described as, ‘The smoothness of classic, Motown-era pop; the grit and sex of Southern-soul; the sunshine and swaying feel of reggae; the romantic mood of Eva Cassidy-like sensual ballads – all one a single CD.” Recently picked as The Best Local Band in Boston 2009, chosen as one of Boston's Best Local Performers by WBZ TV and chosen as Singer Universe's Top 5 singers, Ingrid continues to be acknowledged for her hard work and talent. Gerdes also fronts local band, The Boston Players, the Ingrid Gerdes Band and teaches private vocal Instruction at Page Music Lesson Center... -- Copyright CityVoter inc, all rights reserved --BUY YOUR HARDCOPY HERE: WWW.CDBABY.COM/CD/INGRIDGERDESIngrid Gerdes, Addicted To The Pain, Live Performance Video

What People Are Saying:

"Her voice was made to be heard. Ingird Gerdes has created a soulful sound that is truly a gift. Her relaxed and carefree presence is a nice compliment to her empowering vocals. With lyrics from the heart, Ingrid reminds us to have courage, strength, optimism, idealism and faith. Her voice alone is enough to calm your spirit. Check her out before the venues turn into stadiums."
