"...a title which could well become a theme song for this summer "Too Much Rain" Iain Anderson BBC Radio Scotland
" ...another track from that beautiful little album "A Few Small Things" Frank Hennessy BBC Radio Wales
"Jennifer Crook's beautiful and atmospheric songs held the audience in thrall. The musicianship was superb and the performances were sensitive, yet energetic. A fantastic evening." The Rondo Theatre, Bath
Jennifer used to think of writing songs as a secret pleasure she indulged in between ‘more important things’. But when she released her first collection of original songs ‘A Few Small Things’ in 2008, it was praised by fRoots for being “welcomingly unpretentious” and “one of those records that repeatedly delights and captivates" and by Maverick as “A remarkable CD”. She has since performed at some of the country’s leading roots music venues with an intriguing band that includes some of the finest musicians on the folk scene today.
"Jennifer Crook's outstanding blend of English Folk and Americana make her one of the best new singer songwriters around and her band is magnificent"
Live at the Talbot
**** "Exquisite and thoughtful singer-songwriter fare.
A special talent, Jennifer has produced a remarkable CD with a great collection of self-penned songs"
Maverick
"Spellbinding"
Acoustic Magazine
"An enchanting album...beautiful!"
fRoots
"Tender acoustic finesse....Ten originals with roots in traditional folk but which head for the mainstream thanks to their stimulating melodies and supreme settings ...will touch a nerve with many a soul and certifies Jennifer's status as a talent with a white light future"
Musician
Well known as one of Britain's top lever harp players, Jennifer has recently been invited to perform with artists like Eddi Reader and Boo Hewerdine, and is currently playing electro-harp and singing with Snow Patrol on their UK "Re-worked" winter tour.
Four more little sonic gems for your August pleasure are now available on the site. Blitzen Trapper, Boulder Acoustic Society, Jay Brannan and The Wiyos. Yet another fine quartet even though we say so ourselves as picked them out.
Hi Jennifer, Good to meet you at the Musician and be introduced to your music. I've also played 'Jane' from your album on my show last week - playlist hopefully posted up tomorrow. Will be including another track on Tuesday 14 April's show. All the best, Adam
thanks for the message. Love the music - Dave Kosky let us know about you. Unfortunately we've not got a night on when you're this way... but maybe another time...
Hi Jen, Like your page it's lovely! Glad to be back in touch.Good luck with your new album & gigs. I will endeavour to visit when I come South one day! Good luck with this summer..
Well done for getting the album out and for a successful launch at the Rondo (how DID you manage to get Beethoven on Hammered Dulcimer?!...). Loved your "Jane" song... amazing to see her again. x
... and Bob says she'll have the bike back if you don't want it... (glad it provided a useful lyric though)
Hi Jennifer, great to meet you here in cyberspace. I respect and admire your musical talents, "A Stranger In Love" struck home with me, but it's all wonderful stuff. Best wishes, Duncan.
