Gina Burgess is a genre-bending violinist and composer from Kjipuktuk / Halifax. She is well-known for her virtuosic work with the hot swing outfit Gypsophilia (NS), and the Juno nominated folk-rock band The Jerry Cans (Iqaluit). Her 2024 debut solo release “ISNOW” was met with wide acclaim, and won an East Coast Music Award for Fusion Recording of The Year.
Gina’s performances feature an all-star 5-piece band, combining her violin with contemporary Inuit throat singing, drum kit, double bass, and Brazilian percussion in a wildly unique cross-cultural fusion. Her original music draws inspiration from minimalism, folk and improvised music and her shows are a heartfelt, hypnotizing and engaging experience.
