Ginger Leigh, born and raised in San Antonio, Texas
comes from the legendary musical and artistic family,
The Cones. Ginger's great-grandfather is touted "the
first photographer in San Antonio," shooting some
of the city's and the nation's most notable subjects.
He and his wife bore Jack Cones, Ginger's grandfather,
who became a professional musician and photographer
taking over the famous Cones Studio at the age of 12.
Later in life he married Jane Henry, a national touring
singer, fronting some of the nation's best Big Bands.
She carried her own live radio show at the age of 16.
She too was following her own father's footsteps, for
he was nationally signed and a famous touring Dixieland
musician. Jack and Jane Cones had three beautiful daughters
later appropriately named "The Cones Sisters"
who became famous in Central Texas and Nashville, Tennessee.
From the oldest daughter, Jill, came Ginger Leigh who
is now the 5th generation professional musician from
the family, along with Nashville-based cousin and major-label
musician/producer, Mickey Jack Cones.
Leigh
didn't stay in the deep south, rather she travels all
over the world basing her second home in Italy. Ginger
Leigh is considered a Texas Music Ambassador to Italy,
having taken not only herself, but Austin's most well-known
and talented Patrice Pike, Trish Murphy, Wendy Colonna
and more on tours in the "boot". Speaking
Italian on stage and translating for her artists, Ginger
practices her language skills by telling stories of
Austin.
As
one can imagine, Ginger Leigh is busy juggling her local
and National concerts, writing and recording her music
and working with other artists to advance their careers
concurrent with her own.
