Gina Turner has been playing guitar for 13 years...been singing in public since the age of 3...been a working singer-songwriter for the last 8 years.

She has played too many gigs to remember how to count in her 8 years as a working musician...some of them not so notable...a few of them not so 'good'....most of them spectacular.

She's shared the stage with a few well known bands such as Deadboy and the Elephantmen (back when there were Elephantmen,) fellow Coasties Biloxi, and those modern rock band everyone seems to like, Revelation Theory and Hinder.
