WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING ABOUT TERESE GENECCO!

"If you don't know Genecco, you should. She's a pint-sized dynamo...neither precious nor twee...but rather vivacious, funny and gifted with the need to swing in a big, bold way... It's a gloomy world out there, but with Terese Genecco and her Little Big Band in the house, it's a whole lot brighter!"
~San Francisco Examiner, www.theaterdogs.net

"This super fun singer swings! San Francisco's marvelous 'Entertainer of the Year' - Terese Genecco - whose previous two sets ranked among TONY's top ten in both 2006 and 2007 - returns to NYC. Goosed by a cooking [eight-piece] band, Genecco's snappy, zippy swing leaves you feeling happily woven into an inner circle of frisky retro fun!"
~Time Out New York Magazine

"The 'love child' of Dean Martin and Judy Garland!"
~San Francisco Examiner

"Genecco throws a high-energy musical party with a swingin' band, a hip crowd, and lots of cocktails!"
~Contra Costa Times

"Powerhouse vocalist Terese Genecco is back on stage once a month for two sets at The Iridium and she’s shaking the rafters! Having moved to the Big Apple from California, she’s on her way to becoming a mainstay on the jazz/cabaret circuit here in New York. She brings strength, energy and joy to the stage and to her songs and her band clearly responds in kind. Terese returns to the Iridium in 2010 with some new songs and new arrangements. You don’t want to miss her!"
~Cabaret Scenes Magazine

Terese Genecco swings SF like it's Vegas! Genecco’s sheer personality lights up the stage as much as her vocals in a Las Vegas-style performance that amusingly has a two-ballad limit. Cabaret lovers won't want to miss her!"
~ San Francisco Examiner

"Genecco sings like Keely Smith with the energy of Louis Prima!"
~Platinum Selling Jazz Singer/Composer/Lyricist Mark Winkler

Terese Genecco: Drunk With Love


TIME OUT NEW YORK magazine fell in love with Terese, calling her tribute show, "DRUNK WITH LOVE:A TRIBUTE TO FRANCES FAYE!" one of their TOP LIVE SHOWS for the week of October 12th, 2006 and the TOP 5 MUST-SEE SHOWS in NYC on Tuesday, August 31st, 2010. Their former Arts & Entertainment Editor (now with the NY Post,) Elisabeth Vincentelli, wrote on her blogsite: "Genecco is more wattage - and fun - than an entire evening of Rufus Wainwright at Carnegie Hall!"

Terese is regularly joined on stage by the legendary "MR BONGO" himself, JACK COSTANZO who played on Frances Faye's live, 1958 LP, "Caught In The Act!" And let's not forget the rest of the *little big band* in NYC with the following personnel: BARRY LEVITT on piano, SEAN HARKNESS on guitar, KENNY LAVENDER on trumpet, CLIFF LYONS on tenor sax, MARK MILLER on trombone, JOE ABBA on drums, MAYRA CASALES on Latin Percussion, with TOM HUBBARD or SKIP WARD sharing the bass chair. Terese employs a phenomenal line-up of musicians in every city, who continually blow the roof off whatever venue they find themselves in.

As one reviewer wrote, "Fifty years from now,

someone will be doing a tribute show to Terese Genecco!"
