"Where once the comparisons began and ended with the Indigo Girls and Shawn Colvin, there are now strains of Melissa Etheridge, Counting Crows, a little Ben Harper..."
Beth Burden is the founder of Mother Jane and queen of the sassy, soulful vocals (& hair). Lisa Raymond completes the duo with a fusion of vocals and 6-string jammin'.
For these girls, it's been 9 years, four albums and hundreds of live shows. For you, it's a journey into their world of edgy acoustic rock and a dip in the soul pool creating an unmistakable blend of sweet-laced and in-your-face original songs. They don't ride on the typical indie highway, but these girls undeniably turn heads. Acclaimed Rob Reinhart named them "ones to watch" on his nationally syndicated radio program "Acoustic Café", and they have endeavored to make music that lives up to that honor.
Mother Jane's four albums includes a wide range of tunes from stripped down acoustic to full band sound, with each album progressing in its songwriting, production & experience. While others may beg to differ, "Our first album makes a superb beverage coaster," while their 3rd album "Can't Complain" was aired on over 80 non-comm stations across the country and even edged its way on to the national FMQB Triple A Charts. "This Time Tomorrow", their most recent album aired on well over 150 stations. Their song "look in the mirror" took 1st place in the IAMA Songwriting Contest in the AAA/Alternative category.
Beth and Lisa may not always follow the industry status quo, but once you've heard them, they won't let you forget the name....Mother Jane. And with more albums on the way to the masses, many new "janers" will undoubtedly be born...
Happy birthday Beth! We hope you have a great day! Now that Jackson is out of the womb he's craving some Mother Jane! When can we see you girls again?!
