Smokey, soulful and authentic, Gia Ciambotti is a natural! As a native of San Francisco, Gia was exposed to many styles of music. With influences from Stax Volt and Motown to British pop and country and western, Gia was drawn to music and inspired to sing from an early age. After relocating to the Chicago area she began performing in bands, writing songs, and was introduced to studio recording. There she knew she had found her calling.....
Gia’s decision to move to Los Angeles provided her with the opportunity for greater exposure, which has lead to a very diverse musical career. Be it live or in studio with such notables as Bruce Springsteen, Lucinda Williams, Rod Stewart, Celine Dion, Natalie Cole, Moby, Joe Walsh and James Gang, Badly Drawn Boy, Macy Gray or Little Richard, Gia delivers a distinct sound that keeps her in high demand. Gia has the versatility, style and power to draw you in and capture your soul..... After enhancing the work of so many others, Gia has now written and co-produced her own brand of intimate and immediate songs delivering a raw sweetness, that only Gia can. With her debut CD, “Right as Rain”, Gia draws you into the moment without sense of time or space. With recognition and support from New Light Entertainment, Gia is now a music entrepreneur in her own right. Her vision and artistry put her at the forefront of a new wave of artists with the experience and seasoning to forge music into the next era.

To get a table you must get there early, seating is very very limited and last time it was packed. Hope to see you all for a great night of music.
