Jarrett Fenlon

Bio:

..

"Singer/songwriter and guitarist Jarrett Fenlon possesses an easy-breezy sonic signature and youthful vocal style that belie his favor for such experienced tastemakers as Bonnie Raitt, Eric Clapton and Van Morrison......"Sprung" boasts sprinklings of jazz, blues, folk and country...and makes a nice souvenir for fans of the act's live enterprise. Truly, it plays out like a front-row ticket." ~Billboard Discoveries

Simply stating that Jarrett Fenlon's sophomore album "Sprung" proved the act possesses cross-market appeal does not begin to do justice to just how well received this album was in 2010 by multiple musical genres. Literally hundreds of terrestrial and internet radio stations located in dozens of U.S. States, Canada, the U.K., Germany, France and Australia spinning blues, smooth jazz, adult contemporary, americana and country added some or all of the songs from this album..

The single "Love a Little Bit" reached as high as #37 on New Music Weekly's AC/Hot AC Main Chart, #50 on New Music Weekly's Top 100 Main Chart (Top 40 & AC/Hot AC formats) and #21 on NMW's Top 30 AC/Hot AC Indie Chart. "Sprung" the album climbed as high as #174 on The Americana Music Chart. And finally "Sprung" the single was higlighted by TM Studios in one of their "Hitdiscs" that is distrubuted on a weekly basis worldwide to the Program Directors at over 6000 radio stations that use it to aide in programming. The same disc is received by retail stores like Walmart, Krogers, etc. and used to compile in-store musical playlists.

As a result of "Sprung's" success Fenlon was deemed an "Artist to Watch" by Skopemag.com and a featured unsigned/indie artist on TheBuzzinBox.com. The album was reviewed by multiple media outlets including Billboard and I AM Entertainment Magazine. He was also recognized by dozens of websites, blogs and podcasts like Junior's Cave, Outbound Music and Wildy's World to name a few. And finally he was a featured artist with "Kellie in the Morning" on KVYN 99.3 FM based in the world famous Napa Valley.

Trained in saxophone, clarinet, piano and drums prior to picking up a guitar in his teenage years Jarrett possessed a solid musical foundation prior to beginning his songwriting career. His lyrics speak of everything from lost love to bad whiskey and appeal to people from all walks of life. Anyone who gives this artist half a listen soon find themselves singing along in no time.

Over the past few years Jarrett has performed live along with his band at several historical venues throughout the San Francisco Bay Area including The Hotel Utah, The Rock-it-Room and the Red Vic. With the support of several SF Bay area musical veterans/legends Jarrett has the necessary backing to croon out his sexy jazz, foot stomping blues and soulful ballads without missing a proverbial beat. He has also performed as a solo artist up and down the West Coast at dozens of small and medium-sized venues. This act is comfortable in front of any size audience whether solo or accompanied.

His sophomore album "Sprung" is a follow up to his debut release "Blues & Soul' that came out in 2006. Both albums were produced & arranged by Steve Kirk who's credits include the composition, production and arrangement of the soundtracks of several well-known video games including Facebook's "Farmville" and Disney's "The Princess & The Frog."
