Purchase Jenn's 2005 debut EP at Maple Music.
Jenn Grant, born in Prince Edward Island, now lives in Halifax where she is a singer/songwriter and painter.
Jenn was invited to record her first full length album at CBC's Studio H in Halifax.
It was produced by Glen Meisner of the CBC along with Jason MacIsaac and Dave Christensen of "The Heavy Blinkers". There are many special guests on the recording, (Jill Barber, Ron Sexsmith, Matt Mays, Rose Cousins, Dale Murray and many others) and Grant has also been fortunate enough to share the stage with some of her favorites like Feist, Julie Doiron, Ron Sexsmith, Josh Ritter and most recently toured this fall with The Great Lake Swimmers and then The Weakerthans.
Last year she completed a month long tour in Germany as well other dates in France, England, Switzerland, Luxembourg and most recently Northern Ireland.
The summer brought a special invite to the Edmonton Folk Festival and then some performances in NYC. She returns this fall for more US dates to follow.
Grant continues to write songs and tour in support of "Orchestra for the Moon" and looks forward to recording her next album. She thrives on the artistic beauty of all her friends.
Thank you for add! I'm tottaly in love with your music :D My favorite is "Dreamer" and "Dancin in the Wind" I think. You've got amazing voice! Cheers from Poland M.
Recording on a farm with old carnival equipment and a lama named lightning! Oh.... the places we go. I think lightning should "at least" have some back up vocals or a video appearance. Im anxiously anticipating the new record. thanx Jenn!
Jenn, Sounds good - we'll splash that fake cheese on some nachos and then top it with Estelle's wicked home-made salsa! It sounds like you and Kinley have had some great gigs so far this summer. A.D. P.S. What a blast playing with you and KD at Baba's a month ago!
you've got another fan. dreamer has been on my page for a month. I luvzz it! plus, your a sight for sour eyes. (insert chauvinistic whistle here) double whammy! also, your other songz are awesome. BAM! ;) peaz, Dr. Yobb
Blatant self promotion time once again. I'll repay the favour!
I found two albums worth of songs I recorded the christmas before last just me, my guitar, two mics and lots of mistakes. I've decided to release them one song a week on myspace. song one/volume one is up now for one week only.
I must say, your performnce with The Heavy Blinkers in Norwich, UK a couple of years back is still one of the bist gigs I've seen:)
