  • Bio

    Sometimes we survive through our art, and sometimes we save others. Jennifer Richman has done both. The Brooklyn born and bred singer/songwriter has a penchant for uplifting lyrics and songs of hope and inspiration. Her song "Beautiful Girl" spent over 30 weeks on Top 40 and Adult Contemporary Charts in 2010, and Richman was nominated as Best Female Artist and Best New Artist of 2010 by New Music Weekly Magazine. Jennifer Richman's songwriting has won her comparisons to Jewel and Joni Mitchell, while her voice recalls Shania Twain and Mindy Smith. All of these are fair assessments, but fail to capture the essence of who Jennifer Richman is. Jennifer Richman brings you into her stories like an old friend. It is this quality, more than any other that distinguishes Richman as an artist. Her songs touch chords in her listeners because they are honest stories told from the well of memory and the depths of emotion. Her drive to heal and inspire has informed everything that Richman has ever done, and she brings that drive to the world in song. Jennifer Richman is the change she wishes to see in the world. Devoted to the spiritual process, Jen set out on four trips to India, where she studied dehypnotic meditation under the guidance of Swami Yogiraj Nanak Chand, and Nada Yoga, the yoga of sound, through Yogavani Mission. Devoted to a life of service, Jen has worked tirelessly to help people with autism connect with others through sensory integration and the healing powers of music. Jennifer Richman's debut album, Flowers Of Gold, finds Richman weaving her personal experiences into song like a master songwriter. The beatific sound of her voice puts listeners immediately at ease, and Richman fills her songs with messages of hope, comfort and survival. Richman is currently working on her sophomore effort, due in 2011; a more mature musical affair informed by years of honing her musicianship and vocal craft, paired with inspiration from the passing of friends and the perspectives gained on concepts such as thankfulness and forgiveness. All of this is blended with Richman's trademark blend of insightful lyrics laced with hope for a better world.

    ...."Jennifer has a sweet, soothing voice and has a way of simply expressing herself. It is no wonder why fans say they can relate to her songs" - (Podfeeder) "Remarkable songwriting" - (Independents Only) "This record would be of interest to anybody who likes folk music, and possibly to Country fans as well." - (Now On Tour) "Jennifer Richman is a talented singer/songwriter with a soulful voice, clearly full of emotion." - (CDBaby) "Jennifer Richman is an independent singer/songwriter whose first CD, Flowers of Gold, was released in January 2006 without the help of a major studio. The music mostly straddles the line between folk-rock and light rock, with a bit of country thrown in. Jennifer's talent seems to mostly be found in the vocal and songwriting departments...Jennifer's vocals are very pleasant. The production quality is good, which isn't always the case for independent CDs. Jennifer's website has some snippets of her music, but to hear the songs in their entirety, you will have to purchase the CD." (Rambles.net)....

    Do not Drink and Drive!
    Because it is obvious you can kill someone or cause an accident.
    But if you don't hurt anyone or cause any accident, the punishment has a higher price then the crime itself.
    The Bill of Rights say all have the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, but in this modern age where the vehicle is essential to those rights one can not pursue any with out the freedom of driving.
    Which is the problem Alcohol or the vehicle? Take away the right to drink, not make a living!
    In California they regulate Marijuana with a card much like a license and call it medicinal, why not do the same for alcohol?
    The laws are not just, if you receive a DUI you are a criminal, even if you have hurt nobody or caused no loss of property.
