Fans describe the show as 'empowering,' 'funny,' 'sexy,' and 'encouraging.' Ginger's music reaches all demographics; all ages, genders, and back-grounds. The thread is that Ginger Leigh makes you feel good about life.
She is 'indefatigable', as said the Austin Chronicle October 2005. And has easily made a name for herself, as her show is powerful, sexy, and funny. Her music is delicious and various.
From the Austin Chronicle, September 2006"Smarts is something Ginger Leigh has always demonstrated and her release from earlier this year, Sugar in My Coffee, is another jolt of java-laced groove and sweetly composed tunes. That's not to suggest they're lightweight or otherwise insubstantial, but rather that Leigh strikes a delicate balance between style, substance, and unrestrained rock & roll, especially on songs such as "Close Enough," "Angel," and "Mexican Man." -- Austin Chronicle, Margaret Moser Sept 2006
Ginger Leigh has been compared to Annie Lennox, Ani diFranco, Bonnie Raitt, Bette Midler, and Madonna.

Ginger Leigh, born and raised in San Antonio, Texas comes from the legendary musical family, The Cones. Ginger's great-grandfather is touted "the first photographer in San Antonio," shooting some of the city's and the nation's most notable subjects. He and his wife bore Jack Cones, Ginger's grandfather, who became a professional musician and photographer, taking over the famous Cones Studio at the age of 12. Later in life he married Jane Henry, a national touring singer, fronting some of the nation's best Big Bands. She carried her own live radio show at the age of 16. She too was following her own father's footsteps, for he was nationally signed and a famous touring Dixieland musician. Jack and Jane Cones had three beautiful daughters later appropriately named "The Cones Sisters" who became famous in Central Texas and Nashville, Tennessee. From the oldest daughter, Jill, came Ginger Leigh who is now the 5th generation professional musician from the family, along with Nashville-based cousin and major-label musician/producer, Mickey Jack Cones.
Ginger Leigh is considered a Texas Music Ambassador to Italy, having taken not only herself, but Austin's most well-known and talented Patrice Pike and Trish Murphy. Speaking Italian on stage and translating for her artists, Ginger practices her language skills by telling stories of Austin.
As one can imagine, Ginger Leigh is busy juggling her local and National concerts, writing and recording her music and working with other artists to advance their careers concurrent with her own.
