Classical and jazz pianist, singer-songwriter, and guitarist fluent in genres ranging from flamenco to blues, Gio Barabadze has played at venues like the Denver Performing Arts Complex, Dazzle, and Newman Center for the Performing Arts, and continues to wow audiences across Colorado.​

Born and raised in Tbilisi, Georgia (the country, not the state), Gio studied classical piano and oboe through the Tbilisi State Conservatory. The rippling socioeconomic effect of the Soviet Union’s collapse, as well as continued occupation of his country by Russia, eventually led Gio’s family to relocate to the US. After changing continents, he picked up the guitar, a few other instruments, studied jazz, and began writing and singing eclectic songs.
