There's is not to much known about Virginia Liston's early life. She reportedly was singing in vaudeville as early as 1912. In the early 1920s she was living in Washington D.C. with her husband Sam Gray and touring the T.O.B.A. vaudeville circuit with him in an act called "Liston and Liston". The couple recorded one record together in January of 1924. They were divorced sometime around 1925. Virginia's last recording session was in 1927 with the Clarence Williams Washboard Band, where she sang Cushion Foot Stomp and P.D.Q. Blues.
