The GinSangers Press Release
The GinSangers will be appearing at (Venue Name) on (Day and Date) at (Time).
When you take the musical tour with The GinSangers, you take the blue highways into the heart and roots of American music. The music is real. It crosses all the lines of blues, country, swing and traditional. Townsend and Parker have taken their music all over West Virginia and the Appalachian region and from New England to Louisiana, playing honky-tonks, coffeehouses, concerts, festivals, jam sessions, radio shows, restaurants and songwriter showcases. In August of 2005, they made their debut on Mountain Stage, where they shared the stage with Kasey Chambers, The Greencards and Tony Joe White.
Townsend and Parker are award-winning songwriters. In 2003 they won the prestigious Chris Austin Songwriting Contest at MerleFest - considered by many to be the preeminent Americana festival in the United States. Their songs have been described as sweet, gritty, edgy and true.
At a GinSangers concert you can expect to hear two sweet voices with a touch of twang and that special mother-daughter blend delivered by Connie Townsend and daughter Rose Bell. You'll also hear rock solid rhythm guitar, sweet and true fiddle and there's Dave Parker who might jump in on any of a number of instruments including dobro, resonator, guitar or banjo. Dave can also get the crowd going with his witty sense of humor. Connie and Dave are award winning songwriters. At a GinSangers show, you'll hear a mix of originals and cover songs that range in flavor from country, blues and swing to traditional.
Connie has recorded and released two albums - These Hills and Gentle Graces, both of which have been very well received. The GinSangers have a live recording The Ginsangers Live available at live shows and a new recording is in the works. Rose Bell's fiddle arrangement of Amazing Grace can be heard on the Dualtone companion CD to the PBS documentary film, The Appalachians.
We hope you'll join The GinSangers on (Day, Date and Time) for an evening of country blues and swing. For additional information call (Telephone Number).
