Giovanina is a singer-songwriter and guitarist based out of Burlington, VT. Born and raised in Plattsburgh, NY, Giovanina has spent the latter half of her life indulging a relentless appetite for travel and adventure. She has made homes in Ithaca, NY, Londonderry, Ireland, St. Thomas, USVI, Flagstaff, AZ, Durango, CO, and now Burlington. Having soaked up a diverse catalog of influence, culture, and conversation--her style is nothing short of eclectic. Rooted in blues, soul, and folk, she writes about the intimate experiences that have shaped her as a human and as a songstress. A live performance quickly showcases Giovanina's unique guitar style and sultry delivery. She has released two solo albums, The Road Home in 2013 and A Bit of Alright in 2015. She is on the precipice of releasing her third, Storytellers, coming June 24, 2021. Recorded in September 2020 with a dynamite group of musicians (Bob Wagner, Josh Weinstein, Jay Lesage, and Dwight Ritcher) in Burlington, and produced by Ryan Montbleau, this album showcases Giovanina's best work. Songs and stories that naturally develop over time with age and perspective. Storytellers is streaming everywhere!
Giovanina is also part of the acoustic trio, Nina's Brew, alongside bandmates, Michael Brewster and Isaac French. She is the rhythm guitarist, lead singer and songwriter for the group, with Michael on lead guitar and Isaac on cajon and guitar. As three singer-songwriters, the band's live show is full of harmonies, improvisation, a mix of Giovanina's originals and some fun cover tunes. While NB no longer tours full-time, they do reunite intermittently to return to some of their favorite venues. Nina's Brew released their first EP, Don't Tell Mama, in 2017 and a follow-up full-length trio album, Mixtape, in November 2019. Check the shows section to see where you can catch them in August 2021!
Giovanina continues to balance her music career as a soloist, band member, and alongside the many talented friends with whom she collaborates.
