GINA MOORE
Lead Vocals
Entertainer and Radio and TV Jingle Writer/Singer/Producer
Gina played one of her first music gigs at the Lucy Opry at the age of 11. She regularly snuck into Blues Alley and other Memphis music halls and it was there that the legendary Ruby Wilson “discovered” Gina and put her on stage at the age of 13. One standing ovation later and she was hooked. Gina also plays guitar and percussion and studied jazz guitar and music theory with Chuck Jones. She works with a team of Memphis’ finest singers and musicians making Radio and TV commercials and can be heard today on many of the jingles and commercials that air in the Mid-South and nationally. She has recorded with Baker and Associates, Peter Buck Productions, Cotton Row Studios and Memphis Sound Works. Gina has been a regular on the Casino and club circuit playing with GYPSY ROSE, GINA AND THE TWISTERS, DEJA VOODOO, ELMO AND THE SHADES and she sang back up for the MEMORIES OF ELVIS tour. As a Jazz stylist she has performed in GYPSY JAZZ, with pianist IRVING EVANS, saxophonist CARL WOLF and THE MEMPHIS JAZZ ORCHESTRA.
On stage she has appeared with DOBY GRAY, MABON (TEENY) HODGES, RUFUS THOMAS, RUBY WILSON, Izzy Stradlin of GUNS AND ROSES and JOEY DEE AND THE STAR LITERS. Gina has won numerous awards for her commercial work and won an award from former First Lady, Nancy Regan for her “Just Say No to Drugs” campaign. She was on the University of Memphis Karate team, and has been an award winning equestrian showing quarter horses and cutting horses.
