About the Album
Can’t Take the Music is a collection of songs that speaks to the time we are in. While the weight of the world seems to be crashing down on all of us, Can’t Take the Music is a reminder that we survive, we persevere, the music still goes on.
Gerber shows her songwriting range on this record and lives up to the Alt/country genre she places herself in. The songs range from classic country to pop rock, to a folk ballad with soaring strings. Yet, these songs all feel cohesive. They feel like they belong together, with the whine of the pedal steel as a constant through line. They speak to that part of us that wants our struggle to be seen and to be offered some ounce of hope that we’ll get through it.

Gerber shares of the album
“The songs on this album vary in sound and subject but the through line is the resilience of the human spirit, fighting through the darkness to what you hope is the light beyond. Music serves for many of us as a reminder to fight on, blowing the dust off of complacent and defeated parts of us whether that be in love, politics or otherwise.”
