Details:
Terese Genecco (pronounced "Teh-REECE Jeh-NECK-oh") is the recent recipient of a 2007 Backstage Bistro Award, San Franciscoâs âEntertainer of the Year,â award, a 2006 MAC Award Nomination, and is a rising musical star, from coast to coast. TIME OUT New York magazine named Geneccoâs 2006 performances to their TOP TEN list, in the esteemed company of jazz singer Paula West, and musical legends, Eartha Kitt and Jack Jones. TIME OUT NY Arts & Entertainment editor, Elisabeth Vincentelli, described Geneccoâs shows as generating âmore wattage â and fun â than an entire evening of Rufus Wainwright at Carnegie Hall!â

Music critic, Rob Lester asks, âIs it cabaret? Is it jazz? Is it rhythm & blues?â and answers, âWhen Terese Genecco sings, itâs all of the above, but more than that, itâs a PARTY!â

Critics and audiences are in agreement. Genecco has garnered nothing but rave reviews for her original musical creation, âDRUNK WITH LOVE: A TRIBUTE TO FRANCES FAYE!â The Bay Area Reporter proclaimed, âDrunk With Love is INTOXICATING!â The San Francisco Bay Times music critic declared that âGenecco and her knock-out band delivered one of the most engrossing, all-out talented performances seen in years.â TalkinBroadway and TheaterMania critics have hailed Genecco and her shows as âCaptivating!â and described her as âAn entertainer with a capital E!â Next Magazine asserts, âIf you donât know who Frances Faye was, you should. And if you donât know who Terese Genecco is, you WILL!â

Genecco has been performing in âDrunk With Loveâ since the summer of 2005, where it made its world premiere, in a five-week run at San Franciscoâs New Conservatory Theater Center. Terese has since appeared in New York City at Rose Hall at Jazz @ Lincoln Center, The Iridium Jazz Club, The Encore Showroom, and in extended, repeat engagements at Manhattanâs swanky nightclub newcomer, The Metropolitan Room at Gotham.

Four live performances of âDrunk With Loveâ were recorded at The Metropolitan Room, In New York City, in October of 2006. These recordings have now been released on the independent music label, BUG:OUT:MUSIC. Genecco's debut CD can be considered a companion piece to Frances Faye's "Caught In The Act" LP's from 1958 and 1963 on the GNP Crescendo Records Label.
