Artist History Jenn Lindsay is a Brooklyn-based folksinger who was raised by wolves on the moors of England. Okay, really truly, she’s from San Diego, but she’s still a lot of fun. And her shows, if not wolfish, are certainly energetic, enjoyable and intelligent. Lach from the NYC East Village’s Sidewalk Caf� Anti-folk Scene has recently named her, “an exciting newcomer… fun, poignant, and charming...a most welcome addition.” Jenn started gigging in Liverpool UK, and moved on to San Francisco where she quickly made a name for herself as an influential and integral artist to the East Bay political scene. She regularly played her original guitar tunes at activist gatherings, Take Back the Night rallies, political art festivals, and local coffeehouses and nightspots. JENN LINDSAY was employed as a musical activist by the Stanford Women's Community Center, the Stanford Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Community Resources Center, and by the Stanford Coalition Against Sexual Assault. JENN LINDSAY writes super-fun super-duper honest lyrics and she tries hard, as a folksinger, to be a spokesperson for political issues, while also striving to write music that can be enjoyed in an apolitical context. Because she doesn’t know what she’s doing, really, her music retains the inventive and compelling stamp of complete, joyful na�vet�. Coupled in turn with a dusty natty wacky straight up folky sense of what she needs to say to make her way, JENN LINDSAY’s a hot potato, and happily so.

Albums Gotta Lotta (July 2002), The Story of What Works (March 2002), Bring It On (September 2001)

Press Reviews "Jenn Lindsay is so good. She's absurd." -- Nate Borofsky, 2001 Boston Music Awards Outstanding New Singer/Songwriter "Jenn Lindsay is an important and inspiring new voice on the music scene. Her lyrics are original and either funny or moving, often both. She's documenting the artist's life in New York City in these strange times, and she does it really well. I'm a huge fan!" -- Elizabeth Stark (author of Shy Girl) "Sardonic, intelligent acoustic rock songs." -Mike McHugh, C-Note NYC "A most exciting newcomer...fun, poignant, and charming...a most welcome addition." -www.antifolk.net "edgy, intricate, sometimes strange and controversial and always a showcase for some excellent lyrics" -www.indie-music.com "a welcome blast of taste and sincerity" -nyc.makemusic.org
