Though she’s well known in her native New Zealand, 26-year-old singer-songwriter Virginia “Gin” Wigmore is a relative newcomer to the American music scene. Her second full length release, Gravel & Wine, came out in North America on April 2nd. And as part of her U.S. tour, she’ll be making her way to Indianapolis for a show at Radio Radio on May 12th. Show information is available on the Concert Connection page. Learn more about Gin Wigmore at her Official Website, “Like” her on Facebook, and follow her on Twitter.
