Fiddling Cricket, Canyon Acoustic Society, & The Ugly Mug Present
Ginny Mitchell & Hot Club Pacific · gypsy jazz and classic swing
Sunday August 6th, 7pm, $25/28, doors@6:30
After growing up in Santa Cruz (high school and college), Ginny Mitchell moved to Canada, released her first album, and won Canadian County Music Association's Best New Female Vocalist Award (1986). The high-profile win eventually led her to tour throughout Canada and the US as an opening act for Tammy Wynette, k.d. lang, Ricky Skaggs, Asleep at the Wheel and Greg Allman. Her honest and soulful delivery was compared to Emmylou Harris, amongst others.
After returning to Santa Cruz, Ginny married film maker Marty Collins in 2001 and they started The Digital Media Factory with plans for "Austin City Limits" style live music. This was cut short by Marty's tragic illness and eventual death and Ginny was absent from the local music scene for several years. Returning to performance in 2016, she formed a swing band (western and gypsy jazz), with Hot Club Pacific. Ginny's current style is a rootsy mixture of Americana, folk and country, Ginny Mitchell's Posse. www.ginnymitchell.com
