The Ginn Sisters (that�s 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 Kopp�s studio and recorded 13 songs for their June �06 release, Blood Oranges. The much-anticipated follow-up to 2003�s 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 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 sings harmonies 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 Tiffani�s songwriting and Brit�s 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 playing 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, but it is the combination that creates the magic that is The Ginn Sisters. Their country-inflected Americana music plays well to a wide variety of audiences. Fans of Eliza Gilkyson, The Be Good Tanyas, The Green Cards, and Patty Griffin are natural fans of the Ginn Sisters.

Praise for

Generally Happy

Upon hearing "Bartender's Advice to the Urban Cowboy Blues": "That's a great song! Can I hear another one?"~~Willie Nelson

" 'Ginn Juiced' The Ginn Sisters - singer/guitarist Tiffani and her flute-playing sis, Brit - come from the tiny Texas town of Schulenburg, and they sound like they would. Their songs are piped in from the back roads of Texas, where the only think you can get is AM radio. They offer authentic country, the bluest of grass and touches of Appalachian folk, all wrapped around Tiffani's lovely vocals and Brit's sharp sense of melody. Don't miss 'em in a small place, like when you passed on seeing the Dixie Chicks..."~~Malcolm Mayhew, The Fort Worth Star-Telegram

"Tiffani, lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter, has that same kind of rich, twangy voice that has made Natalie Maines so popular, and when Brit (who plays flute) adds those harmonies, it sends chills up and down the spine. Apart from the Bob Wills' classic 'Faded Love', all songs are originals and range from sweet ballads like 'Hugo' and 'Glare of Contempt' (haunting flute on this) to sexy blues romps like 'Ramblin' Ones' and 'So Long Gone'.~~Alan Cackett, Maverick Magazine, UK www.maverick-country.com

"Brit and Tiffani Ginn must be fending off comparisons to cherub-faced versions of the Damnations, but their jubilant sisterhood is powerful to say the least. Darcie Deaville produced this gem, 13 rootsy pearls, including a bluegrass version of "Faded Love" and fabulous sibling harmonies on "Blue Monday". (Margaret Moser, The Austin Chronicle, vol.23 no.42)

"...Knocked down by your music and your talent and killed by your vocals!...quite all your songs are musical gems. Thank you so much for sending this CD. It is one of the very good surprises of these last weeks and I sincerely hope it will bring you all the recognition you deserve. Thanks again for the wonderful gift you made me by sending me your CD."~~Mike "The Frenchie" Penard, DJ

As Eddie O'Strange from Blue Smoke Music Company in New Zealand points out, "Austin must be an amazing place--so many wonderful albums like yours keep coming from your city." Not only do the albums keep coming from the city, but now the bands are coming from Austin too. The Ginn Sisters are taking this show on the road!


"They have quite a few things going for them, one them being the blood tie that blends their harmonies together, another is that Tiff really can write a distinctive, off-beat song...plus she has a strong, appealing voice and is as versatile with it as her classically trained sister is on flute."
~~John Conquest, 3rd Coast Music (June 2004)


...a few letters from new friends who caught our show at the Austin airport...
~~~~~from Scott of the Denver area: "I wrote to tell the two of you that your music was great if not fricken amazing. The two of you together are an act that shouldn't be missed, and by the stroke of luck I'm quite glad I was able to see. I sat there for the better part of two hours listening to the two of you belt out original music, a few covers, and just Jam. For a business trip that wasn't the greatest, you made the most of it for sure. I bought your CD...15$...I have to admit, I questioned it at first...figured 15$ was a few more beers, and when your flight doesn't leave until 7pm and it's only 4.........well, you convinced me. I threw down the 15$...... hell I would've paid 20$ now that I've heard it...best CD i've bought in awhile. Point is, you were great...I figured you two were about my age, and that's awesome...true ambition. I listened to your CD this morning while driving to work...the bass and fiddle totally add to your genre. It adds a nice southern/bluegrass/backwoods sound into it...reminded me a little of an old country bar here in town. but the two of you, your voices the guitar and the flute are an amazing the combination. (btw, you played some other tunes that arn't on the cd...and a few covers too...you should release those in another cd, or on the net... they were great.)"
~~~~~from Jim of Pearland, TX: "Hi guys! I heard you at the Austin Airport last week and thought I would drop you a note. It is always enjoyable to listen to live music. I was glad to be able to listen if only for a while, and you sounded great. Keep it up. I�ll keep an eye on your calendar to try to catch you when I visit Austin."
~~~~~from Missy of Florida: "I'm writing from Tall., FL; I heard and purchased your new CD recently at Austin airport. (Needless to say, I think it's great fun music--something different, too. Thanks!) Now I'd like to buy a copy to send to my daughter, who is in Jackson, WY."
