Jenn Grant

這位加拿大的獨(dú)立女藝人Jenn Grant的歌聲是那樣知性，婉轉(zhuǎn)，簡(jiǎn)單自然，一把簡(jiǎn)約的吉他，流暢的鋼琴，流浪的女詩(shī)人氣質(zhì)。 Jenn Grant (born 1980) is a Canadian pop singer-songwriter based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Born on Prince Edward Island to Ken (a vascular surgeon) and Heather Grant, she moved to Halifax with her mother and brother at age ten when their marriage broke up。 She collaborated on her debut album, Orchestra for the Moon, with such artists as Ron Sexsmith, the Heavy Blinkers, Matt Mays and Jill Barber. She has toured Germany and Canada in support of her release, including as an opening act for The Weakerthans. She attended Saint Mary's University for a time[1] and later graduated from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University,with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting In 2006, she won Best New Artist and Best Female Artist at the Nova Scotia Music Awards. Jenn Grant's song "Dreamer" from Orchestra for the Moon is featured as the theme song on CBC's Heartland. Her song, "Make it Home Tonight", will be played at the end of episode 11 of Flashpoint. Her album Orchestra for the Moon got positive responses from critics. From her debut record, Orchestra for the Moon, Jenn Grant's name has surfaced in four star reviews from Harp and The Globe and Mail, earned her several East Coast Music Awards nominations, and landed her on tours with the Great Lake Swimmers, Hayden, Justin Rutledge, Martin Tielli, Danny Michel, and The Weakerthans. There are traces of Orchestra for the Moon in her latest offering, elements that helped shape Jenn’s sound into what it has become. Producer/pianist Jonathan Goldsmith (Bruce Cockburn) leads a heart-on-sleeve band through Echoes: Kinley Dowling on violin, David Christensen on bass clarinet, Sean MacGillivray on bass, Gary Craig on drums/percussion, and Jenn herself on guitar. These are all sincere songs captured in the moment, on tape. Echoes was recorded and mixed with a fully analogue process at Puck’s Farm. Without the songs being old or feeling old, Echoes’ analog heart reflects the art and the heart of Jenn herself, inciting a familiarity that connects the listener with the roots of music.
