Jenifer Jackson:
Jenifer has been writing songs for a long time, and her lyrics tend to continue to be about nature, time,
connections and distances between people, between places, and between the past and the present.
Stylistically, her songs are very melodic, and span folk, bossa nova, old country and jazz.
The 12 albums of her songs that she has released were made in New York, Nashville, Austin, New Jersey.
Some in beautiful studios, some in tiny apartments and garages.
Her songs reflect different places where she has lived, and many people have told her her music is very cinematic.
Most recently, living in Texas, her has veered toward folk and old fashioned country, and instrumentation has become very acoustic.
Some of her major influences are Neil Young, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Joni Mitchell, and George Harrison.
"Her strong melodies, subtle arrangements and pure vocal approachrender her recordings almost instantly classic."Time Out! New York
Jenifer is an American songwriter, singer and guitarist known for crafting intimate, understated pop songs.
Her songs have appeared on television ('Bloodlines') and film soundtracks ('Run, Fat Boy Run' and Independent Spirit Winner 'Daydream Believer') and have been covered by a wide variety of artists in the USA and Europe.
Jenifer currently makes her home in Austin, Texas but has lived in Boston and Manhattan, in Sicily, where she became fluent in Italian, and in France, where her first recordings were produced by new wave iconoclast Wreckless Eric.
Her 11 solo albums have taken her on tours around the world, landed her on broadcasts such as NPR All Songs Considered, World Café and Mountain Stage, and enabled collaborations with notable musicians including Pat Sansone (Wilco), Greg Wiczoreck (Norah Jones), Paul Bryan (Aimee Mann), Oren Bloedow (Meshell Ndegeocello) and Nate Walcott (Bright Eyes).
"There's a particularly soft, almost naïve sense of beauty to Jenifer Jackson's songs that belies the sophistication of their craftsmanship and presentation," wrote CMJ.
Her album BIRDS, produced in Nashville by dear friend Brad Jones, was named "the soft pop record of the year" by Tangents magazine.
"Jenifer is a songwriter first, a sweetener second," wrote The Onion's AV Club. "Sketches of urban romance that alternate joyous delirium with desperate loneliness, all laced with persistent feelings of need."
"I've lived in so many cities and spent time in a lot of the great urban centers of the world," says Jenifer. "But as a songwriter, I'm most inspired and at peace in nature, whether it's near the ocean or in the desert, or close to animals.
"I long for lastingness, in love, in melody, in memories. But I know everything has its time. I write and create for lots of reasons, and a main one is to capture the feeling of a moment and make it last within the world of a song."
Jenifer will be recording a new album in late fall of 2018.
