New York singer-songwriter Jennifer Sullivan funnels the big city and the country into one with her music, and will surely entrance the fans of Nora Jones and the like to the front of her stage. It’s a relaxed throw-back sound that will appeal to most, but the easy jazz vocals over trad country instrumentation will immediately feel like home to fans of Nashville’s Family Wash. You can hear every bit of the passion in her debut album, Somethin’ New, that dropped earlier this year.
There is no way that an act like Jennifer Sullivan could be placed anywhere other than a club stage in the afternoon, and it may just provide a perfect break from your typical Bonnaroo shenanigans (read: Skrillex superjam). Get to know a bit of Jennifer Sullivan below, and see if you can figure out where the perfect spot would be to insert a scat. - No Country For New Nashville
Jennifer Sullivan is a country girl who is making it work in the big city. Originally from New Braunfels (near Austin) in Texas, she currently resides in New York City, where she just released her debut full-length album, called Somethin' New. She's very talented, rather hot, and really quite mad.As well as a fine singer, Jen is a multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar, mandolin and keys. I gather she's just acquired a violin, so maybe she'll soon be on violinfemmes.com!
Somethin' New - recorded in Brooklyn and Austin - crosses over multiple genres and styles, including country and jazz, music hall swing and standards, which she describes as "a curious amalgam of the traditional and the modern." All the 11 songs are originals (including a couple of reworks of songs from an earlier EP). My favorite track is Autumn Moon - see the video below. Download the album at iTunes or pick up a copy at one of her superb and lively shows. - Harris on Music
Indie on Air, "the voice of independent music," is a Chicago-based online radio talk show hosted by Jeff "Classic" Popka. Jennifer was a featured artist on the program and talks with Classic about her musical background, school, and the music business.
