Jenifer Jackson is an American songwriter, singer and guitarist known for crafting intimate, understated pop songs. She embraces elements of old fashioned country, bossa nova, and folk in her writing and singing, and always with great soulfulness.
“Her strong melodies, subtle arrangements and pure vocal approach render her recordings almost instantly classic.” Time Out! New York
Her songs have appeared on television (‘Bloodline’) and film soundtracks (‘Run, Fat Boy Run’ and Independent Spirit Winner ‘Daydream Believer’) and have been covered by a wide variety of artists in the USA and Europe.
Jackson currently makes her home in Austin, Texas but has lived in Boston, Manhattan, and in Italy, where she became fluent in Italian.
Her 13 solo albums have taken her on tours around the world, landed her on broadcasts such as NPR All Songs Considered, World Café and Mountain Stage, and most recently on Songwriters Across Texas Television and Video Podcasts. She collaborates with Patrick Sansone of Wilco, Brad Jones (Hays Carl, Ron Sexsmith) and a host of notable friends.
