THE GINN SISTERS
THE GINN SISTERS (thats a hard G, like gutsy or girls) have taken the legacy of great Americana music from previous generations, within their family and beyond, and recast it with their own stories, sounds and instincts. In a world of music split between rowdy bars and the delicate music of listening rooms and songwriting contests, THE GINN SISTERS are able to turn a biker bar into a listening room. People just listen.
In the winter of 05/06 they went into BRADLEY KOPPs studio and recorded 13 songs for their June 06 release, BLOOD ORANGES. The much-anticipated follow-up to 2003s critically acclaimed GENERALLY HAPPY presents a sure-footed and mature take on a wide variety of roots music styles. This album is about great songwriting, stunning melody vocals, lush, bold harmonies, sass, and soul.
TIFFANI GINN sings lead, plays guitar and writes the songs. She has been on stage as a singer and a dancer since her earliest days. Her writing reflects her upbringing: Country, Folk, and Blues woven with delicious melodies, compelling characters, and universal experiences. She sings spot-on lead with a powerful and athletic voice that can sparkle, smolder, and drive.
BRIT GINN sings harmony and plays melodica and flute. Her harmonies blend seamlessly and beautifully. They range from traditional to quirky and are always just the right ingredient. Her virtuoso flute playing, honed by years of formal study, and homespun melodica playing lend an instrumental expression that is both masterful and instinctive.
TIFFANI and BRIT GINN have been singing and playing music together for over 20 years. Born just 13 months apart into a musical family in SCHULENBURG, TX, they grew up with a solid foundation of great music. In 2003, they brought their stunning harmonies to AUSTIN where Tiffanis songwriting and Brits already potent flute playing have both blossomed.
They followed up the release of their critically acclaimed first CD, GENERALLY HAPPY with relentless touring all over the US, playing great venues, and shows with Americana Music stars like ROBERT EARL KEEN, DELBERT MCCLINTON, and FRED EAGLESMITH.
Both of these women bring remarkable talents and skills to the table and create the magic that is THE GINN SISTERS. Their country-inflected Americana music plays well to a wide variety of audiences. Anyone enjoying ELIZA GILKYSON, THE BE GOOD TANYAS, THE GREEN CARDS, and PATTY GRIFFIN are natural fans of THE GINN SISTERS.
