Event information

Although still in her early twenties, singer-songwriter Jenna already has a wealth of recording and touring experience behind her. Seven years ago she co-wrote the haunting 'Seven Days' - one of the highlights of 'Show of Hands' 'Country Life' CD. Then with Steve Knightley and Mercury prize nominee, Seth Lakeman, she recorded the critically acclaimed 'Western Approaches' album which led to her first nationwide tour in 2004.

In 2007 she appeared at The Royal Albert Hall as a special guest for a sell-out Show of Hands concert. In the same year, Jenna recorded her debut solo album 'Barefoot and Eager'. A 10 track album produced by Steve Knightley and recorded by Phil Beer. It was listed in the top ten acoustic albums of 2007 in the Financial Times. She has toured this album on three nation-wide tours supporting Steve Knightley and will be touring with him again 2010 and showcasing material from her new album ‘BROTHER’ which was produced by Steve along with Mark Tucker. Jenna has supported a number of well-known musicians including Martyn Joseph, Seth Lakeman, Phil Beer, Martin Simpson and Boo Hewerdine etc, and has recently been in the same line-up as The Noisettes.

Jenna's original songs are very much inspired by the sea, surf and landscape of her native North Devon and accompanying herself on piano and guitar, she possesses an astonishingly mature voice and stage presence. The new album “Brother” will be released in January and demonstrate "Staggering maturity, winning delivery, and an abundance of natural talent. An irresistible example of superior acoustic music" - Daily Telegraph
