BEST DOUBLE LIFE
Ginger St. James
When she first stepped on local stages, Ginger St. James was not the alt-cabaret chanteuse she is today. That saucy, sassy personality was still very much in evidence, though. Her performance origins trace back to the burlesque circuit – first as a member of Toronto’s Les Coquettes, then as the prime mover of her own troupe, the Steeltown Sirens. Although the burlesque scene never really seemed to catch fire here, it certainly burned hot enough to sear St. James into the public’s imagination. That spirited profile led to TV and film work, and more recently to a second life as a siren of a different sort – a sultry singer with a surprisingly lithe and powerful voice, razor wit and a vaudevillian sense of showmanship. It’s no put-on.
