Tif Ginn (US)

Tif Ginn is a gutsy, amazing singer and a transcendent songwriter who has spent most of her adult life touring North America playing music professionally. Ginn toured first as half of the Fabulous Ginn Sisters, releasing 3 critically acclaimed CDs then as part of the Fred Eaglesmith Traveling Show. Now she takes a turn as a solo artist, fronting the band she has been playing with for the last several years. The self-titled solodebut was released in April of 2012.

Produced by Fred Eaglesmith, “Tif Ginn” was recorded with his road-weathered band at Eaglesmith’s studio in Southern Ontario, Canada. Eaglesmith used his trademark one-mic approach, utilizing just one channel, sending the mono/analog signal to quarter-inch tape. Nine of the twelve songs were co-written by Eaglesmith, who is himself an iconic Americana songwriter. The songs indirectly reflect the kind of ‘struggle’ that is living in a motorhome and touring for years without much time to relax or regroup. They are songs of single moms, lovesick fools, trailer park life, and abuse.

Eaglesmith’s analog approach yields a rounded, smoky atmosphere that perfectly suits both the subject matter and the tour-tightened band. The bare, honest and emotional sound is the real thing and the result is a beautiful yet edgy sound.

Stylistically, the CD runs from sultry, jazzy country to angry punk, embracing pop, Americana and folk along the way. The trademark sound ties it all together delivering a mature and well-rounded product that is at once fearless and remarkably listenable. As part of the Fabulous Ginn Sisters and the Fred Eaglesmith Traveling Show, Ginn has played over a thousand shows at some of the best rooms and festivals in North America. Her CDs have been played on Americana, folk and indie radio stations and her CDs have been ravely reviewed in publications all over the US, Canada and Europe.
