As a rising blues musician, Gina Sicilia is leaving her mark with her soulful voice that bellows influences of country, Americana, R&B, and pop music. Her voice has generated a reputation as a dynamic roots-music vocalist. Sicilia has made appearances at some of the biggest blues festivals in North America, including the Ottawa Blues Festival, Pittsburgh Blues Festival, and the Bayfront Blues Festival. She has also joined the likes of Johnny Winter, Joe Bonamassa, and Shemeika Copeland on tour. The latest buzz encircles her April 2013 release of "It Wasn't Real" on the VizzTone Label Group. While the accolades continue to pile up, Sicilia is sure to show every audience what a knockout she is, as her voice and songwriting continuously proves her growth as a musician. Making only two stops in Florida this summer, Silicia is performing Saturday at the Arts Garage, located at 180 NE First St. in Delray Beach. Tickets cost $25 to $35. Call 561-450-6357, or visit artsgarage.com.
