Canceled | The Fabulous Ginn Sisters (that’s a hard G, like “gutsy”) have taken the legacy of great Americana music and recast it with their own stories, sounds and instincts. In a world of music split between rowdy bars and the gentle strains of fern bars and songwriting contests, The Ginn Sisters can turn a biker bar into a listening room.

“Tiffani — lead singer, guitarist and songwriter — has that same kind of rich, twangy voice that has made Natalie Maines so popular,” wrote one critic, “and when Brit (who plays flute) adds those harmonies, it sends chills up and down the spine.”

Tiffani and Brit have been singing and playing music together for over 20 years. Born just 13 months apart into a musical family in Schulenburg, Texas, 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.

Alt-country star Fred Eaglesmith was struck by the new band’s rough, raw boned sound and invited them to record their new CD in his Port Dover, Ontario, studio. The result is a smoky, drunken stumble through a brokenheart junkyard. You Can’t Take a Bad Girl Home is set for release in late winter. Having notched out a place for themselves with their amazing singing, the new CD is a marked dodge toward rock and roll. The songs are bleak yet poppy, the singing is subtle and nuanced, and the music is a garagey mix of reverb and hum.

The Fabulous Ginn Sisters first made their mark on the Americana scene with their 2006 release Blood Oranges, which received stellar reviews from regional, national and international media. It reached #2 on the RootsMusic Report, #3 on the FAR Chart and #24 on the Americana Chart and was the #1 independently released CD on the 2006 Americana Chart.
