Praise for Dead Cat Blues
"...a fantastic album" Paul Gough, Inside Sleeve, Radio National Praise for Blue Sky "Lithe, scintillating piano, a stellar band, exquisite vocals" - Rhythms Magazine "...superb" - John Carver, PBSFM "...as good as I’ve heard Australian originals in a long time." - Brian Elliott, 94.1FM |
Stuff people have said"Gioia’s music is as expansive as the sky..." (Rhythms Magazine, May 2013)
"...a piano style that could be straight out of a steamy, whitewashed church in Alabama." (West Australian, 31/01/06) "...rich, big band arrangements and thrilling vocal harmonies. ... a voice that is tough and deep, perfectly complemented by the sweet, supple harmonies of Kris Arnott and the skills of seasoned blues players Paul Novosel and Bob Thomson on drums and string bass." (West Australian, 09/05/08) |
