The Pearl Company

Ariana Gillis: Friday, October 26, 8:00pm. $15 door/$10 artists/students: This may be your last chance to catch this rising star in an intimate setting such as The Pearl Co!  Check out these words from Steve Wozniak, Apple Computers co-founder, who has flown Ariana in to sing for his friends: “Ariana is two people in one. She’s a normal nice demure 21-year-old, but when she begins to sing her entire body is taken over by the most powerful force, and the songs become a lot more than just words or music…. her stage presence is the most visually grabbing I’ve ever seen. I was stunned at the intense connection between herself and what she was singing; I thought of the strength of character that embodied Janis Joplin’s performances.”  And then Bernie Taupin (Elton John’s lyricist) says: “I’m staggered by how good she is….after hearing her available tracks I can honestly say she’s the single most exciting thing I’ve heard in a very long time.” Finally, Dave Marsh, music critic of Rolling Stone Magazine: “Ariana Gillis may be the best new emerging artist anywhere!”  There can’t possibly be anything left to say; just be here for this remarkable performer. www.arianagillis.com
