Artist Spotlight: Verge Of Bliss




Genre: Psychedelic Space Rock

Junkies' Description:
Verge Of Bliss brings back the psychedelic space rock of the 60s and 70s. But don’t expect a generic classic rock band - they have a unique, unmistakable sound. Lead singer Virginia Bliss adds serious soul to the mix with her wide vocal range, and Trey Bliss can lay down some pretty sweet riffs and solos on his Les Paul...and with this combination, you will have an eargasm. My personal favorite of theirs is “Brown Thrasher” - the instrumentation combined with the lyrics is absolutely mesmerizing. This was once a five piece band, but it’s now a power trio since Trey look the reigns as the only guitarist and Virginia now slaps the bass. Now matter how many members Verge Of Bliss has, they will always be truly amazing.

Official Bio:
Virginia and Trey Bliss form the foundation of the band co-writing the music for the band.  At one time, the couple was married but separated in the fall of 2010.  However, music transcends their relationship and both continue to work together to accomplish their combined goals to write and perform meaningful music from the heart and soul.
With the separation, the band changed direction and moved from a five piece to a power trio with Virginia taking the responsibilities of bass guitar in addition to vocal duties.  The line-up is now rounded out by Stewart Gussman on drums, providing the perfect mix of power and precision drumming to the music.
There is not one style or category that can describe Verge of Bliss and that is intentional.  We have various influences we work together but don't rely on for our sound.  At times, rock and roll dominates while other  songs have a prog/funk/blues fusion theme to them.  Songs weave from loud and heavy to acoustic and emotional.  
Verge of Bliss enters 2011 excited about the opportunities ahead.  A  debut full length album and a tour are planned for the year as well as branching out and playing new and favorite venues across Atlanta.
