Gina Roche to Perform at Beach Feast GINA ROCHÉ (singer/songwriter, guitarist, mom): Gina Roché, is known for her intensely captivating performances. Roché imbues a Brazilian flavor into her unique blend of jazz, blues and original compositions. Gina has toured Japan, the U.S., the Grand Cayman Islands, and Aruba, singing in different languages with musicians from Brazil, Africa, Japan, Mexico and Puerto Rico, she was an original member of the all female Latina group "Ellas.” A featured artist at Paris and Bally’s in Las Vegas, Gina has performed in nearly every Atlantic City casino in a wide array of genres. In 2002, Gina performed one of her original compositions with a symphony orchestra at The Philadelphia Kimmel Center in an event to honor Ambassador Walter Annenberg. She has performed on Good Morning America and Late Night with Conan O’Brien and alongside renowned artists such as McCoy Tyner and Gerald Veasley. Gina’s debut CD, "Dawning of a New Way" (with Romero Lubambo on guitar) continues to receive rave reviews within the jazz community. Gina is currently working on her second CD, to be released later this year.
"...an individualistic and compelling singer." ~All About Jazz. "Gina Roché is what makes the listener sit up and take notice." ~ Jazz News
