Nina Gerber is an American guitarist who first came to attention when she accompanied singer-songwriter Kate Wolf from 1979 until Wolf's death in 1986.[1]
Gerber was born and raised in Sebastopol, California.[2][3] In 1975, Gerber was still at high school when she saw Kate Wolf perform at a Sebastopol pizza parlor, and decided she wanted to play with her, which she first achieved in 1978.[3] Gerber has collaborated with many other artists, mostly folk musicians, including Karla Bonoff and songwriter Chris Webster.[4][5] She released her first album, Not Before Noon, in 2001.[3]
