A big THANK YOU to all of the Seattle musicians that have given us a friendly welcome in the Seattle area over the past year. I was sidetracked for a bit - but now devoted full time to music!!! What has been growing in my sleeping artistic cocoon???
Well, THE HAYBURNERS have been born! David Tieman and I have created one helluva super duo we are excited to share with you all -- a mix of our best unrecorded songs, lots of harmonies...folk/alt-country/pop we just dig like all get out!!! So all shows are the duo unless otherwize noted. This self-titled CD will come first this November 2007, and my second solo CD will be out after the new year.
Oh, by the way...
I'm always looking to add more house concerts on my schedule. I'd love to give a concert in your living room! I will give you a copy of my cd and walk you through the whole process if you are interested in "supporting the arts" and helping to keep a folk musician on the road and thriving. There's some good links & suggestions on my website (see house concert box on the left side of my homepage) please read it and then e-mail me please if you want to give it a try (and be a songwriter's hero! ).
A bit'o bio:
Jennifer Spector has been writing and performing her songs with her acoustic guitar over a decade. She primarily draws from her love of traditional folk music, with a hint of the smart sassiness of Jazz and a bit of rootsy Americana. She performed on the streets of 14 European Countries in 1996, a year after moving to the American Southwest. Jennifer just moved to great state of Washington and plans to tour around the Northwest as well as some national trips. She mixes her new earthy Northwest outlook with the quick, inevitably sharp wit of a woman coming of age in New Jersey. Her first full-length release Ahead of the Game showcases 10 of her best songs. She will finish up her second cd, tentitively entitled "Greasy Spoon", after THE HAYBURNERS barnstorm the Puget Sound this fall. It is due for release in early 2008.
