Faith Gibson live
American singer Faith Gibson is a bright new voice on the European jazz scene whose interpretations of the American Songbook, jazz standards and her own compositions show versatility, wit and subtle creativity.
A native of Pittsburgh, Faith has spent most of her adult life in Germany. She has always sung, but due to acute shyness did not venture onto the stage until her own 40th birthday party, then with “Lipstick,” a vocal trio, and finally as a soloist.
Since then, Faith Gibson has overcome her shyness, performing regularly at jazz clubs and concerts in the UK and in Germany and in 2004 she recorded her debut CD You Don’t Know Me.
Bonn’s General-Anzeiger describes her performance as “three hours of zest, passion and dedication.“ L.A. jazz critic Scott Yanow writes of her debut CD: “thoughtful, sometimes touching and always swinging.”

Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh. -- W.H. Auden

To know what you prefer instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive. -- Robert Louis Stevenson

Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. -- Abraham Lincoln

Oscar Wilde once wrote: "In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it." Think about it...

Influences: "The only thing better than singing is more singing" -- Ella Fitzgerald.

Sounds Like: She’s da bomb. I used to drive home from work, in crazy traffic, at the end of a tension-filled work day, and kick the cat. Now I am all about the purr of the feline... all relaxed when I arrive at the casa. What’s my secret? Faith! She’s softly, soulfully, gently bringing me back to center all the way home from work each and every day. Thanks for the sanity !!! (Allen Wood)
