  • Homeward Bound: South Jerseyan Ginger Coyle Comes Home for XPoNential Music Festival
    Ginger Coyle and her band will be performing Sunday, July 27 on the JerseyArts.com Marina Stage at the XPoNential Music Festival on the Camden Waterfront.

She’s currently at work on a new full-length record – the first single “The Big Picture” is out this week. Christopher Benincasa spoke with Ginger Coyle earlier this week about her life as a touring musician, recording artist, and mom.
