Album Notes

Virginia has lived most of her life in the South: South Carolina, South Australia, and Southern California. She grew up in Charleston, singing harmony with her guitar-playing brothers. In later years, she performed in talent shows, coffee shops, and at church when asked. (Musicians are always asking some girl to sing so they can play in the background.)

Virginia's studies with Nashville voice coach Susan Anders led to recording a jazz demo and a gig at Castrillo's. But she found herself humming her own tunes on the side. A year later, as Virginia was writing a novel, she kept getting interrupted by songs. So, long story short, she took eleven of her original songs to the studio and recorded Seventh Siren.

Virginia's original music has been played on air by stations based in Australia, Scotland, England and Belgium. She is a diverse artist, having appeared on stage and television as an actor and announcer in the United States and Australia. Her fiction and nonfiction have been published in literary and community publications, her plays have been performed as public readings, live theater performances and on television. Virginia's poetry was featured this year on a UK podcast and the Nashville Film Festival used her original scenes in successive years in their Film Workshop for Children. In recent years, Virginia has performed as a jazz vocalist with ensembles at commercial venues and at nonprofit benefits.

Currently, Virginia is working on new songs for her second CD while promoting Seventh Siren.
