Chuck Cannon, Darrell Scott, Joni Mitchell, Carol King, Diane Warren, Pam Rose, Gary Burr, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Paul McCartney, Duke Ellington, Gershwin. In short, all the great singers and songwriters of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Graceful, challenging, unguarded, powerful: Such are the songs of Jaclyn Brown. Known as a writer of intelligent and catchy songs in the country / folk / pop vein, Jaclyn is quickly becoming considered a preeminent singer/songwriter in the South and beyond.
With a degree in Studio and Jazz Vocal Performance from the University of Miami, Brown capitalizes on a diversity of influences and experiences in crafting some of the most poignant songs to emerge from her generation.
Although she frequently travels to Miami, LA, and New York, Jaclyn makes her home in Nashville. Her bright voice and matching smile make audiences feel at home whenever shes on stage. Unsolicited Material, her newest CD of original songs (September 2005), features Brown's songs, many of which have been cut by other artists, but all arranged in her own country-folk storyteller style.
Growing up in Nashville with a session pianist for a father, Brown had many opportunities to hear and learn from established artists and writers, from country singer Brenda Lee to Broadway casting director Dave Clemmons. She also sang backup for many artists, including Jamie O'Neal and Kathy Mattea.
In her college years, Brown worked for country singer/songwriter Lari White and her husband, hit songwriter Chuck Cannon. White and Cannon greatly encouraged and inspired her to continue writing and performing her thoughtful and timeless songs, no matter what music might be considered popular at the time.
Jaclyn currently freelances as a session singer and is actively pursuing a publishing deal.
You can catch Jaclyn performing her original tunes at various clubs around the country. Jaclyn enjoys and writes all styles of music, and is heavily influenced by songwriters like Diane Warren and Chuck Cannon, as well as classic songwriters such as Duke Ellington, Joni Mitchell, and James Taylor.
"The great thing about being a singer and a songwriter is that it enables you to say whatever you want to say in whatever voice you want to use," says songstress Jaclyn Brown. "I cant sing a Kid Rock song, but maybe I can write one."

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.

Well, maybe winter is finally behind us. Snow in May, but now we finally have warmth. Almost 90 at times!
While we were struggling with snow, I wrote 'The Robin (Spring is Coming)' - it is my latest song. Come by and take a listen. Please let me know what you think.
Jaclyn, "Sing Me That Lullaby" (Key of E: A-E-C#m-B) is a very beautiful song.
