The Ginge (‘jinj)– Defined as "short for ginger" by the band, “Ginge” means liveliness, sprit and vigor. e.g.,  “now that girl’s got some ginge.”  Combining melodious vocals, soaring lead guitar and a driving rhythm section, The Ginge offer an infectious and spirited sampling of classic and newer rock (both well-known and obscure), soulful rhythm and blues and well-crafted original material. The group's chameleon like repertoire and eclectic mix of music brings an infectious energy to any venue, event or private party.




The Ginge Partners with Children’s Memorial Hospital.
On March 30th, the Ginge was honored to perform for the brave children and brilliant staff of Childeren's Memorial Hospital in Chicago.  Check out CMHs Facebook page for some pictures from a great evening:  http://www.facebook.com/ChildrensMemorial.  

For 125 years, Children’s Memorial Hospital has been treating the area most critically ill children.  The Ginge is proud to help support those in need at Children’s Memorial.   In our continuing effort to support one of the most worthwhile causes, the Ginge has agreed to donate all proceeds from its current CD, Continental Anyone? to Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago.   So buy a CD, great music for a great cause.
