With her sultry and powerful voice, her sassy and commanding stage presence, and a repertoire that blends country, rock n' roll and blues, Ginger St. James packs a lot of entertainment into her 5-foot frame.

Following the tradition of country songbirds like Loretta Lynn, Ginger writes and sings music from real experience; growing up on the family farm, being broke, having fun, and love gone wrong. Her early life in Binbrook, Ontario was heavily influenced by American southern culture, listening to country radio in the barn. Although trips with Dad to the vintage car and rockabilly shows had their impact, her signature song 'Ramblin' Country Bumpkin', proves that this gal is more Hee Haw than Happy Days.
