Pressetext:

"Geri Schuller, geb.1968, ist einer der profiliertesten Pianisten und Keyboarder Österreichs.

Von 1993 bis 2000 treibende Kraft hinter dem internationalen Soul /Blues /Gospel Gesangstrio "The Rounder Girls", davor 10 Jahre lang musikalisches Rückgrat der Rocktheatertruppe "Hallucination Company", Tourneen mit "?luatschink", Bill Ramsey, Harri Stojka u.v.a..


Pianistisch schöpft er aus dem Vollen: Swingender Jazz, erdiger Blues, knochentrockene Funklicks und breite, ekstatische Gospelakkorde finden wie selbstverständlich zueinander. Dazu kommt ein eigenwilliges Gesangstalent und ein gewissenhafter wie stilsicherer Arrangeur. Einmal auf der Bühne, erweist sich der schlaksige Niederösterreicher als Performer durch und durch.

Ein natürliches Showtalent, ein moderner Musikant.
