While other little girls dreamt of being princess brides, mermaids, or fairies,
Jen Woodhouse performed in her parents' living room in front of a captivated audience made up of her two younger sisters, various stuffed animals, and Barbie dolls. Whether she was performing in ballet and piano recitals, or just hula dancing for the neighbors, it was apparent at a very early age that Jen was a born entertainer. Since her sold out living room concerts, Jen continues to mesmerize audiences across the globe.
These days, Woodhouse has been keeping busy. A recent Nashville transplant, Woodhouse has been ceaselessly touring and promoting her highly anticipated album, "The Shaping & Shifting of Objects & Sound." Quickly garnering tremendous word-of-mouth support, Woodhouse's sophomore album follows on the heels of her critically acclaimed 2005 debut, "This Honest Age."
A collection of cleverly spun tales of realism that relate to the many sides of the persona, "The Shaping & Shifting of Objects & Sound" has many highlights, including the hooky, energetic pop gem, "Rearview," the moody, ethereal piano-driven, "Gravity," and the territorial, rollicking, tongue-in-cheek "Vicious.” "Impossible", one of the album’s standout tracks, combines tripped-out guitars with a quirky Imogen Heap-tinged keyboard groove. Live instruments (piano, drums and bass) mingle with electronic elements while Woodhouse's voice is powerful yet heart-wrenchingly sincere.
Woodhouse masters the delicate balance between strength and vulnerability. These intensely emotional songs bind the elements of self-sacrifice, redemption, and the constant redefining of identity.
The incalculable range found in Woodhouse’s music should be of no surprise, considering her traveling forays into different countries and cultures. Born into a military family, Woodhouse divided her childhood in Texas, the Philippines, Alabama, Germany, Philadelphia, and Chicago. Her diverse upbringing clearly influences the music she makes today.
In addition to her rigorous touring schedule, Woodhouse was invited to perform at several high-profile music festivals, including Austin's biggest music event, South by Southwest, Toronto's Indie Week Festival and Atlanta's Atlantis Music Conference. She spearheaded The Green Light Tour, a month-long international tour spanning 22 cities in the US & Canada, promoting her new album and raising awareness about global warming. Teaming up with various environmental organizations such as the Sierra Club and Arbor Day Foundation, Woodhouse and two fellow singer/songwriters planted a tree in every city they stopped in, as well as raffled off 'enviro-prizes' to audience members.
Woodhouse continues to tour extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. She has most recently returned from a 7-month tour in Asia and is back in Nashville writing and recording material for her 3rd album. Woodhouse is endorsed by Yamaha Pianos and Ovation Guitars.
THE BUZZ
"Woodhouse exudes an inherent honesty; a smart singer-songwriter with something to say." - NOW Magazine, Toronto
"Jen Woodhouse isn't afraid to take risks on her debut album, This Honest Age, reflecting the influence of other adventurous singer-songwriters like Tori Amos and Ani Difranco..." - The Nashville Scene
"Original, vibrant, and true to its on-the-mark name, honest. Lushly orchestrated and fearlessly intelligent, her voice is warm and confident, full of color and strength. Her songs are an imaginative mix of guitar-driven folk/rock with a jazz feel that works beautifully." - Indie-Music.com
"Woodhouses voice rings out with an acrobatic flair that is just subdued enough to avoid the showy pretension that plagues most R&B singers." - CDReviews.com
"Jen effortlessly plucks the guitar while serving up lyrics, melodies, and commanding vocal performances that engage you with the intimacy of a front row performance at a small cafe with her stadium-filling talent. Her seasoned voice recalls the confidence of a veteran performer who is at home on stage and comfortable in front of a mic and she, unlike so many other self-proclaimed singer/songwriters, truly belongs there." - The Muse's Muse
"Songs that are aching (and severely deserving) to be heard..." - Sound Affects
