'VERO'
"Folk Noir."

A NYC Gypsy Rock Tradition 

"She is not genre specific and that's what makes her music so intriguing." Obsession Collection Music

Vero adapts her Argentinian heritage with an urban cowgirl twist. Her songwriting is dark yet etherial, honest yet sarcastic. Steadily pounding on pretty chords, Vero's bi-native voice burns profoundly for her new found love, heart ache or loss. Her fans become instantly lured into an emotional roller coaster through haunting lullabies on ukulele such as "Death of the Sea" while her band mates Marz Mikeo (bass guitar) Ti Grieco (drums, percussion & vocals) & Josh Miller (guitar) take you galloping through the wild East Village streets with "Urban Cowgirl", or on a steam engine train ride through years of mistakes such as in "Fingertips".

URBAN COWGIRL

Vero's energy can electrify any room with the emotional honesty of her lyrics and sultry vocal delivery. The disciplined fury of her acoustic guitar, and her charming wit and humorous sarcasm has shocked and enlightened listeners over a decade of performances! Vero has always been musically all over the place. She's ranged from folk to rock to spanish ballads or rap, you could never tell what she'll play next. The sounds that have inspired her recent songwriting and choice of musicians play tribute to her early upbringing. Born to a Spanish father and Argentine mother, Vero spent her early years in Queens, NY., listening to Tango's, Andenian Folklores, Gypsy Songs and Waltzes - It is there where her heart lies.  
Vero's been hard at work re-establishing her sound into a whole new genre that she refers to as "Folk Noir." Rhythmic driven guitars, marching rolls, explosive trombone riffs, crying violins, bandanion melodies over a bed of lyrics and harmonies that leaves us in awe.
