December 23, 2025Jennifer performed at our Christmas party last night and her gorgeous voice and choice of music just brought the party to the next level. I cannot recommend her and her partner on instruments (Steve?) enough!!

July 3, 2025We recently booked Jennifer to come and celebrate my father's 80th birthday. Being of Irish decent, our family still enjoys the culture, music and spirit of the Irish. Jennifer helped to make the day special by singing all the familiar irish pub songs and more. We are glad to have booked Jennifer and thank her for adding to the magic of the day.

May 10, 2025Jennifer made our family celebration wonderfully special with a magical performance of Celtic tunes! She brought great energy, beautiful vocals and guitar, and a broad and entertaining range of traditional and party music. Jennifer went the extra steps of playing requested songs and actively engaging all ages in attendance. We feel very fortunate that she was available to perform and definitely plan to see her in her professional engagements in the future! Thank you, Jennifer! Booking through Gig Salad was also very easy and successful!

RECENTLY AWARDED 'CELTIC ALBUM OF THE YEAR' BY CELTIC MUSIC RADIO, THIS NORTH CAROLINA FOLK SINGER, HAS A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH
THE MUSIC THAT TRAVELED OVER WITH THE SCOTTISH SETTLERS.
Spending her youth as a competitive Scottish Highland Dancer encouraged her interest and love for the Scottish traditions. Jennifer is an exceptional vocalist and multiinstrumentalist who plays the piano, guitar, and bodhrán (Irish drum). After living almost a decade in Scotland and Ireland, Jennifer realized the strong
similarites between Scotland and North Carolina...and her music began to branch out into a genre which honors those connections.
“I believe that the music needs to connect with the audience through our shared emotions and experiences in order for us all to feel that which can only be
experienced through music. With some songs, I believe that the power of music can be stronger than the power of the lyrics; and the power of the language is stronger
than the power of the notes.”
