CITATIONS PRESSE & FESTIVALS

« Sud-Ouest »
« Gerber marie à une technique parfaite une présence scénique hors du commun. Avec lui le public n’est plus passif mais devient son interlocuteur »

« La Dépêche du Midi »
« Jonglant tant avec les instruments (piano, synthétiseur, accordéon, guitare et violon) qu’avec les interprétations tout aussi personnelles qu’excellentes de standards établis et reconnus, ou encore, nos sentiments, Alan Gerber s’est donc décrit et imposé comme démiurge. »

« Le Reflet »
« Alan Gerber a le don de faire vibrer les cordes émotives de son public »

« Le Reflet » Denis Renaud
« Une interaction dynamique et une performance hors pair ».

« Sud-Ouest » France «
Gerber associated perfect technique with an uncanny stage presence. The communication with the audience leaves no room for non-participation. Saturday night, through the raspy textures of his voice, we were moved from one emotion to another, from hilariously absurd stories to moving unusual ballads. One of a kind! »

« La Dépêche du Midi » France «
Juggling with his instruments (piano, synthesizer, accordion, guitar and violin), personal interpretations of the highest standards, as well as our feelings, Alan Gerber has imposed himself as a creator. »

Another bluesman, another American, and another strong personality.

Decidedly, after the very authentic Glory Hogs concert of a couple of weeks ago, the Cav'conc' welcomed, last saturday, another wild and crazy American, Alan Gerber.

That said, even through his influences are surely blues (he comes from Chicago) passing through rock and ballads this man goes beyond the Glorious Hogs and their classic, traditional blues.

Alan Gerber is in a league by himself. Although, he is alone on stage with his instruments: piano, synthesizer of many sounds, guitar, etc., we have heard he has played alongside the greatest (Bob Dylan, Lou Reed...).

This is understandable in the way Gerber associated perfect technique with an uncanny stage presence. The communication with the audience leaves no room for non-participation.

Saturday night, through the raspy textures of his voice, we were moved from one emotion to another, from hilariously absurd stories to moving unusual ballads. One of a kind!

Fools That Try (Independent)

With a variety of woodburners and hoof stompers, this one-man catalogue of talents has homecooked a smorg, from the New Orleans piano of Stay at Home to the folksy portrait of hapless Henry the Hog Farmer.

This is due in part to an impressive profile: stints with Dylan, Lou Reed and Leon Russell have infused the Chicago-born Gerber with a seasoned confidence on a rash of instrument.

The choir Joyful Noise, harmonicist Jame Tyrone Zeller (aka Jim Zeller, perhaps?) join five others for Gerber's hayride.
