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.
