Listen to live music with the Bulgarian-born Geri X, a composer, musician, and singer hard to put a label on. Fans and critics spotted it from the moment she broke onto the Tampa Bay music scene in 2005: Geri is an artist with a singular sound. She is a storyteller of brutally honest confessions about being human, using music as a vessel to connect with anyone out there who feels alone and misunderstood.
