reviews gilli connected with everyone in the room with an electrifying blast of energy that took everyone far beyond the walls of the venue, & deep into the heart of the artist. - Songnet.org gilli's finely crafted songwriting style weaves through moods of sensuality - physical desires - lust - joy - sorrow - innocent wonder and carnal knowledge - endless possibilities of emotion and passion. Every aspect of this performance is about being at one with the audience. Being at one with her band, at one with herself. - Indian Voice, San Diego This woman is TOTALLY mesmerizing - a true artist. She goes from whispered passages to screaming rock 'n roll - sometimes in the same song. It's hard to describe her music because it's so unique, but I kept thinking of a female Elton John with a few theatrical twists thrown in. She is a totally up tone entertainer; a HUGE being - Artists for a Better World (Gilli was awarded the "Outstanding Contribution As an Artist" Award) Passionate, insightful, sensual... She can take a song any place she wants, and she does just that, singing sweet whispers one minute, and screaming rock the next. Her themes strike many different chords that touch everyone deeply and moving them to actions that can only be described as ballistic. Her writing is smart, sensitive and perceptive in a style all her own... This is a performer who's comfortable with both herself and her talent, and the chemistry between her and the other band members is as good as you're likely to see. - Music Connection Behind the piano, she was a volcano, erupting in emotions most of us would keep inside. Moon tinkled, pounded and got more music from the keys than is usually heard and her voice, ahhhh, it ranged from angelic to angry and everything in between. Her banter between songs was full of wit and vinegar, which the audience loved. - Dabelly.com There's something distinctly Bowie-driven about gilli moon... Like listening to a female Scary Monsters, with a dose more vulnerability and greater sound. - Musicdish.com Moon exposes her soul and what a wondrous soul she is. Confident one minute and fragile the next, she swells with sensuality - Newcastle Herald, Australia The whole audience, and I mean, everyone... was screaming, clapping, stomping, yelling for more... people were crying... believe it. The band was right on with her. They started the first song creating a landscape of sounds and then just "floated" away with Gilli working her voice and body. Beautiful. - Femmuse
