| Jennifer Nettles
Reared on a diet of rock, blues, folk and soul, Jennifer began singing at the
age of seven. Her professional career started in 1996 with her arrival
on the Atlanta acoustic scene with the now defunct Soul Miners Daughter.
Jennifer's music was the driving force in successfully selling an astonishing
20,000 CD's of that band's two independent releases. Her continued market
success is supported and promoted by outstanding high-energy live performances
that have garnered her both national and regional success.
Jennifer's new album, Story Of Your Bone, is an exploration in diametric extremes.
Musically, there are moments of both haunting sparseness and rich fullness.
Thematically, Story explores a vast emotional spectrum, ranging from bitter
anguish all the way to fun, in-your-face naughtiness.
Story Of Your Bones promises to satisfy and surprise Jennifer's large established
fan base and capture new audiences. By combining honest songwriting and
soul-turning lyrics with a voice that ranges from the power of a freight
train to the subtlety of a southern lilt, Jennifer Nettles Band guarantees
not only to engage their listeners, but also to enchant them.
