Xenia Rubinos

Xenia Rubinos' Exuberant Sonic Wizardry

Soundcheck | Jul 10, 2013

On first listen, Brooklyn-based singer and keyboardist Xenia Rubinos might sound like she’s supported by a huge backing band. But live, she plays with only her drummer, Marco Buccelli and a bit of sampling and effects. Rubinos fills out the rest with her hard-hitting vocals, raw keyboards — and her songwriting, which has confounded nearly everyone who has tried to describe it.

Set List:

  • "Hair Receding"
  • "Cherry Tree"
  • "Pan y Cafe"

Xenia Rubinos performs all over New York City in the next month.
