About the Artist
Gere Fennelly is the girl with the magic fingers who is 88Magic. She is a true piano genius and cult phenomenom. She is most widely known as the keyboardist for the influential & legendary band Redd Kross, touring the world throughout the 90's and appearing on The Tonight Show, Conan O'Brian, MTV... But it is as a solo artist that she truly shines. A child prodigy, she was a church organist at age 10, and had her first taste of rock'n'roll stardom as a teenager, playing in "ROX". An all-girl rock band from San Francisco, they were discovered at Mabuhay Gardens (SF's premier punk club) and signed with EMI, spending the next year in Japan, appearing on TV nightly. Gere went on to become the toast of San Francisco's underground punk/lounge nightlife scene during the 80's, playing with goth pioneers Specimen, as well as Romeo Void, White Trash Debutantes, Bonnie Hayes, and others. She has written several ballets, and still plays for dance classes. She has shared the! stage with a staggering diversity of acts, ranging from Jane's Addiction & Richard Carpenter, to Tenacious D. & Tony Bennett. Gere's piano playing is firmly rooted in the "classically trained/yet tainted by rock'n'roll" tradition of Elton John, and more recently, Tori Amos. But it is all her own. 88Magic. Give a listen, and you will believe, too!
