Band Story
Vicki Genfan: Alchemist of Strings and Soul
Every once in a while, an artist emerges who doesn’t just play music—they channel it. Vicki Genfan is one of those rare, transcendent talents. A virtuoso guitarist, gifted vocalist, and soul-stirring composer, Vicki’s music doesn’t just entertain—it reaches out, wraps around the heart, and lingers long after the final note fades.
Blending elements of folk, jazz, pop, soul, and global rhythms, Genfan is redefining what it means to be a singer-songwriter in the 21st century. Her acoustic guitar technique—often described as “slap-tap sorcery”—is nothing short of mesmerizing. Using 29 alternate tunings and a percussive playing style that transforms the guitar into both instrument and orchestra, Vicki crafts lush, layered soundscapes entirely by hand. And then there’s the voice—pure, expressive, and emotionally grounded—bringing lyrical life to her compositions with clarity and conviction.
Whether performing her original works or reimagining classics like the Beatles’ “Norwegian Wood”, Genfan infuses every piece with her unmistakable signature: deep musicality, fearless innovation, and heartfelt storytelling. A concert with Vicki is more than a performance—it’s an experience. Her warmth, wit, and intimate storytelling create a space that feels both expansive and personal, drawing audiences into a shared moment that is as moving as it is unforgettable.
Her reputation as one of the world’s finest acoustic guitarists is well-earned. She has graced the stages of prestigious international festivals, including the International Montreal Jazz Festival, Open Strings Guitar Festival in Germany, and Soave Guitar Festival in Italy. In 2005, she was featured on La Guitara, Vanguard Records’ groundbreaking compilation celebrating female guitarists from around the world—a landmark recording that placed her in the global spotlight.
With a growing discography, a repertoire that now includes 6-string banjo, 12-string, and baritone guitars, and an ever-expanding global presence, Vicki Genfan continues to push the boundaries of acoustic music. She’s a mainstay at music camps, workshops, and clinics, where her technical mastery and open-hearted approach have inspired a new generation of players.
Vicki Genfan is more than a musician—she’s a force. A storyteller. A boundary-breaker. And most of all, a reminder that music, at its best, doesn’t just fill the room—it fills the soul.
