Member Spotlight – Gin Wigmore

Virginia “Gin” Wigmore is a gifted songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with an outstanding voice, crafting emotional, intelligent folk pop/rock in the vein of contemporaries like Feist, Fiona Apple and Brandi Carlile.

Her big break came after winning the International Songwriting Contest in the USA, beating 11,000 aspirants from 77 countries. In 2008, she released her first EP with the award-winning “Hallelujah” as its centerpiece, a full-length debut, Holy Smoke, arrived one year later. Wigmore’s latest release Gravel & Wine is huge-sounding, full of catchy and memorable songs. She dabbles between rock, blues, country and pop, always adding her edgy flair.

Currently, her powerful and rhythmic song “Man Like That” can be heard in the new McDonald’s commercial!
