scene.

Circuit, Jennifer has performed all over the US, Ireland, UK, and
western continental Europe. Her experience in many different worlds has
influenced her music and writing deeply. Once struggling to stick to one

A trained singer and pianist in classical music, Jennifer's greatest
inspiration comes from Motown, R&B, Blues Country, New Age and
Celtic music. The various influences have furthered Jennifer's
development as a songwriter and a performing singer.
Growing up in Eastern NC, Jennifer was influenced by her father's
love for Motown, R&B and what Carolinian's call "beach
music". Daughter of a Music teacher and niece of a Scottish
Highland Dance teacher, Jennifer received training in both music and
dance from a young age. Upon graduating with a music degree from East
Carolina University, Jennifer traveled to Scotland to study abroad on a
Rotary International Scholarship. She continued to spend summers in
Scotland studying Gaelic music and Dance with singers such as Mairi Mac
Innes , Ishbel MacAskill and Roddy Campbell.

| Sponsored by Swansboro United Methodist Church, she founded and
produced a Christmas Benefit Concert for lids4kids. Her purpose was to
increase awareness of this wonderful program that provides hats for
Children undergoing chemotherapy and radiation, and to raise money for
the program to expand outside of North Carolina. She intends to make
this an annual concert for Lids4kids.
Currently, Jennifer is based on the rugged West Coast of Ireland
with her partner, Alan Chapman. They have been working as a duo
performing Irish ballads, traditional tunes and folk rock since
2001. |
