Nina Gerber

"It's rather bittersweet that two of my best guitars came to me from my good friends who have died," says Nina Gerber, favored accompanist to some of folk music's most revered singer-songwriters. Her David Matlin acoustic was gifted to her by Kate Wolf just before she died. Nanci Griffith gave her a 1962 Reissue Fender Stratocaster after loaning it to Gerber while she sat in with the Blue Moon Orchestra.

It's fitting, then, that Gerber's fourth solo CD is a heart-centered project inspired by and dedicated to some of her favorite songwriters--no longer living but nevertheless alive inside her own music. TIME IS FUNNY THAT WAY was funded through a grant from Whippoorwill Arts, and in addition to a couple of original compositions, features seven songs by Kate Wolf, Nanci Griffith, Sarah Elizabeth Campbell, and Keith Allen.
