Regina Spektor was born on February 18th, 1980, in Moscow, Russia and emigrated to the United States when she was nine. Spektor studied classical piano from the age of six, practicing on a Petrof piano given to her mother by her grandfather. She was also exposed to the music of rock and roll bands such as The Beatles, Queen, and The Moody Blues by her father, who obtained such recordings in Eastern Europe and traded cassettes with friends in the Soviet Union. |

Fort Worth Weekly -
Waiting for Regina Spektor to begin last night’s concert at Nokia Theatre made me feel like a 5-year-old kid waiting for Christmas morning. (Okay, an extremely grizzled and hard-drinking 5-year-old kid with a prostate the size of an Idaho potato, to borrow a line from “Last Tango In Paris”).
