A recent transplant to Boston, Jenee Halstead arrives with an alto voice that floats hypnotically between the spectrums of frailty and strength—part Emmylou Harris, part June Carter, part Patty Griffin. With “The River Grace”, Halstead presents a collection of highly personal songs, effortlessly suited to her voice, bringing together bluegrass, folk and electronic rhythms to create a sound rooted in the past yet beckoning the progression of Americana. Joined by Steve Moore (Laura Veirs, Mount Analog), Mike Grigoni (Anais Mitchell), Zak Borden (Willy Mason), and Matthew Weiner (Asylum Street Spankers), “The River Grace” boasts a cast of stellar musicians that breathes life into tunes like “Before I Go” and “Darkest Day”, creating a sonic palette as lush, lyrical and evocative as the stories Halstead tells.
As Boston musical luminary Billy Beard (Session Americana, The Dennis Brennan Band) puts it, “The road to salvation is a treacherous one, and the traffic is worse than the Southeast Expressway at rush hour. Alternate routes won't help at all—the indie rock bypass is strewn with broken careers, the Nashville Trace is washed out and the NY Thruway is backed up from Brooklyn to Woodstock. So if you’re gonna take that trip, you'd better be brave, you'd better be honest and you'd better be good. Thank goodness that Boston newcomer Jenee Halstead has all three of those elements going for her”.

Hey Jenee thanks so much for the add. Love the music, and can definitely hear the Patti Griffin/Alison Krauss influences. They both have spectacular voices, and so do you. The judicious use of effects on your voice on these recordings is very nice.
My earliest memories are of Somerville, MA. Family lived in a second floor apartment on Pearl Street, across from a school in the mid 1960s.

So good to see you last night, Jenee. Loved the new tunes you co-wrote with David Wax. Thanks for singing "Nick Drake". It's sad, yes, but so beautiful.
Hi Jenee, I really like your songs. Thank you for the add :) Take a look at my video of The Writing on the Wall from my acoustic album, Beyond the Blues. Quote from the wall: ‘The wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly’. Thanks again, Steve
