Ginger Leigh
Ginger Leigh rocks out with the best of them; ax-swinging, sweatin', groovin', beltin' chanteuse. She can make your jaw drop like no other, ripping your heart out with anthem-style ballads. She can crack you up with her Ellen-style dry wit, her old-school-Bette stage antics, classy and crass. She can make her fingers bleed on her guitar strings, yet she can be as gentle as a jazz singer in a smokey NYC bar. She is Adult Contemporary/Pop/Rock, yet she is Jazz, she is Rock, she is Latin, She is one-of-a-kind, sexy and funny. She is a female-Elvis-like chanteuse. Ginger Leigh is a smart artist, a business woman, a music-maker, a recording artist, a writer, an actress, a hostess and a stage-lover who goes unchallenged and who is uniquely made up of nothing but pure love, hard work, unbeatable talent and unstoppable drive. She manages to deliver her message about living outside of the box with contemporary powerful up-beat rhythms and melodies that come from her varied background and a family of 5 generations of professional musicians. Her career was kick-started as the lead-singer in her first professional performing band at the age of 9.
