Description:
The Virginia Tech Union presents musicians Ryan Cabrera & Teddy Geiger along with guest Alexis Babini on Wednesday, November 6th in the Commonwealth Ballroom located in the Squires Student Center.

Guitarist, songwriter and Texas native Cabrera never planned on a career in music. His hobby turned into a passion after hearing Dave Matthews, causing him to turn his back on the noisy punk rock of his high-school band and pick up an acoustic guitar.

In 2001, Cabrera signed a record deal with Atlantic records and began working on his major label debut. Ryan, a multi dimensional player and songwriter teamed up with Johnny Rzeznik (Goo Goo Dolls) to co-produce the album, Take It All Away, released in 2004. That album spawned the hit “On The Way Down” which hit #15 on the Billboard hot 100. The album sold over 500,000 copies in the US and reached #8 on the Billboard top 200 charts and was certified Double Platinum. This continued to propel Ryan into stardom and opened the doors for a deal with MTV and his own TV show, Score.

Since then, Ryan has been relentlessly working on his craft. Staying on the road and writing amazing songs is what he is best known for.

Teddy Geiger catapulted to stardom with the million selling hit, “For You I Will”, featured on Geiger’s critically acclaimed 2006 debut album, Underage Thinking. Just 16-years old, Teddy launched a 3-year international tour and grabbed silver screen spotlight by starring opposite Emma Stone in 2008’s The Rocker, and playing the muse in the cult hit TV series, Love Monkey.

A multi-instrumentalist and producer, Geiger’s sheer breadth of musicality imprints a bold stamp in the lexicon of American pop with his sophomore album, The Last Fears. The album establishes the re-emergence of Geiger as a singer/songwriter at the top of the independent American music landscape, blending traditional pop structure with accents of electronica and ballads tinged with sounds as close to home as mandolins and steel guitars.

Alexis Babini combines expressive vocals with a lighthearted charm, resulting in hook-filled songs that elicit smiles, foot-tapping, and sing-alongs. He has toured the US sharing the stage with a range of notable acts such as Blues Traveler, Howie Day, Boz Scaggs, The Verve Pipe, Ryan Cabrera and Sister Hazel.

With an ever-growing catalog of ready-for-radio songs with catchy choruses, Alexis has been garnering a tremendous amount of buzz with placements in shows like ‘Audrina’ ‘Teen Mom’ ‘The Real World’, ‘I Used to Be Fat’ and on Xbox Live.
