Since then, they have changed their name to 'Ginja Roe' and have added a long, wide, and varied number of experiences and performances to their list along the way. With their influences stemming from the likes of The Waifs, and Joni Mitchell, their original style covers genres from country to folk to rocking blues. With their strong lyrics and harmony lines that will melt your senses, these girls are independent and never fail to impress! In their short career, they have managed to achieve reputable and memorable gigs. Most notably, they have been performing at the Tamworth Country Music Festival since 2005. This includes singing original music in the Telstra Road to Tamworth Competition and making it into the top 30 competitors of Australia three years running. In Jan '07 they featured in the Victorian Country Music Showcase at the Tamworth Regent Theatre throughout the festival. In February 2006, Ginja Roe were invited to perform in the Young Talent Showcase at the Bunyip Country Music Festival. But it was their performances at the Mildura Country Music Festival in 2005 and 2006 that affirmed Ginja Roe as the next exciting talent to look out for. Performing their original music they came away winning an astonishing number of awards - nine in total, in the Top of The State Talent Quest. They brought home awards in the song writing and duo sections, including winning the Senior Australian Country Vocal and the Senior Vocal sections, eventuating in being the Grand Overall Winner of the Talent Quest. In October this year, Ginja Roe were thrilled to open for multi-Golden Guitar winner Adam Brand for the first time at the Ferntree Gully Hotel, Victoria. Ginja Roe have not only proved that their original music is a hit in the Australian country music scene, but they have also been performing at blues and folk festivals around Victoria, including the Maldon Folk Festival in October last year, the Festival of The Sea at Barwon Heads in March this year, Western Port Bay Music Festival (Feb '06), and more recently the Mornington Food and Wine Festival. Ginja Roe were invited back again to perform at the Echuca Winter Blues Festival in July, and once again clearly stood out as festival favourites. No matter where they perform, Ginja Roe always finds themselves surrounded by eager audience members waiting to get a signed copy of their latest cd! Ginja Roe entered Triple J's unearthed competition earlier this year, and have been getting national air play of their track 'Heart Of It', as well as being heard over the airwaves at PBS 106.7FM as well as local community radio stations. Ginja Roe independently produced their 8-track cd titled 'Homemade' in 2006. It is an acoustic blend of country, folk, and blues, where you will hear those infamous harmony lines which are unique to Ginja Roe. Now the girls are at it again, but this time in a 'proper' recording studio, with legendary Bob Spencer (Skyhooks, The Angels) who is recording, producing, and playing on the album. Ginja Roe are very excited to announce that they will be releasing this highly anticipated album "Polished" early 2008! Song Information - credits, lyrics, album:
