    "Vykki Vox is a red-headed bombshell of atomic soul ready to explode on theinternational music scene." This powerful, dynamic singer/songwriter has a"refreshing" style all her own, and brings her "radiant personality and fun into hermusic." When hearing Vykki sing, one may think of Sheryl Crow with a harderedge, while others have made reference to Tina Turner, Janis Joplin andAretha Franklin. The band’s infectious grooves have been compared to theDave Matthews Band, Lenny Kravitz and the Black Crowes, while others speak ofthe legendary Little Feat.At Vykki’s high energy live performances, people are always amazed at the"huge voice" that comes out of this "petite package." She is truly commanding informal arenas and has earned kudos for her performances at Boston's Hatch Shell,as well as other festivals and music conferences, including Crossroads in Memphisand MobFest in Chicago. Vykki has shared the stage with the Indigo Girls, Cyndi Lauper, Les Paul, Ronnie Earl, Max Creek, Susan Tedeschi and CJ Chenier among others, and has been invited back to perform at Rockfest inAtlanta, GA and in Amsterdam in the year 2000.This "whole lotta groove" band (Vykki on vocals/percussion, Dave Osoff onkeyboards/vocals, Justin Kolack on bass/vocals, Chris Rivelli on drums/percussion,and Erik Ringstad on guitar/vocals) has been receiving considerable AAA airplay(charting on several stations) and rave reviews internationally.
