STREAM "HAIR OF THE BLACKDOG" ON SOUNDCLOUD HERE
With her sultry
and powerful voice, sassy and commanding stage presence and a repertoire
that blends country, rock and blues, Ginger St. James packs a lot of entertainment into her petite frame.
Following the tradition of country songbirds like Loretta Lynn, Brenda
Lee and Patsy Cline, St. James writes music from real experience; growing
up on the family farm, being broke, having fun, and love gone wrong.
A born
entertainer who captivates audiences with her tongue-in-cheek songs
that are as entertaining lyrically as they are visually and musically,
St. James was the winner of Female Vocalist of the Year at the 2015 Hamilton Music Awards.
She released her first EP Spank, Sparkle & Growl
in 2010, followed by the EP Tease in 2012 and released her
debut full length album Diesel and Peas in 2014. Ginger St.
James is set to release her second full-length recording One For The Money on April 29, 2016 via Busted Flat Records.
As one critic
wrote, “[St. James] is a sassy and dynamic rockabilly singer, songwriter
and guitarist, creating a national buzz with some slightly cheeky music
and a captivating charisma fuelled by her roaring voice and model
beauty." (Nick Krewen, Toronto Star)
"We are
stoked for this new album and tour. Ican't wait to share it with the rest
of Canada and the world!," says St. James. "Look
out, folks, we are just getting started!"
Country, blues and
rock n' roll are her primary weapons, though it's her skilled fretwork,
energetic performance, and sultry, expressive voice that commands her
audience and keeps them coming back for more.
