About Me

"Canadian transplant and former jam band muse Serena Jean Southam is a mighty fine country-rockin' gal. Southam doesn't waste time brawling under the roots tent about labels; the singer-songwriter's too busy vying for the crown of supreme artist on the come up... She and her cracking band will entice you to honky-tonk. This is the genuine hotness—with boots!" -The Village Voice
