Giovanina Bucci

Singer and songwriter, Giovanina Bucci, has been busy since 2004 performing for small and large crowds alike from her snowy hometown in upstate NY to the sunny beaches of the US Virgin Islands.  A great love for song has led Giovanina to explore her talents with pen and paper and her 6-string.  Now based back in Plattsburgh, NY, her style blends elements of blues and folk to create a rhythmic undercurrent to her poignant lyrics of love and lifes simplicities.  

It is in these simplicities that Giovanina has found a renewed interest and appreciation for songwriting, Im inspired by smaller ideas, thoughts, and experiences, both my own and other peoples.  Each song is personal and simple in its own way and I dont really have a formula.  Im okay with that.  I dont have a formula for anything.  Songwriting is a unique process for every musician.  Some start with a guitar riff, some with a lyric, some must write by candlelight Im a sit down, write a song from beginning to end type of songwriter, like chugging a huge glass of water and slamming it down once youve taken the last gulp thats how it works for me.  Ill get one line stuck in my head, that line provokes a feeling; a mood for the sound I want to create and then between chord progression, style, phrasing, and rhythm I try to achieve that.

Giovanina won the 2011 Advance Music Singer/Songwriter Contest in Burlington, VT.  Between gigging in both New York and Vermont she's staying busy in the local music scene. Giovanina released her first full length album, The Road Home, in 2013. You can follow Giovanina on Facebook and YouTube and also check out her station on Pandora!
