By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) June 19, 2009 3:28 pm
Background/ Composition: Six Shooter Records' Outlaws & Gunslingers Showcase featured a series of triple-threat rounds, with Blue Rodeo's Glenn Milchem and Bazil Donovan acting as backup band. The evening's second improvised trio consisted of a Barenaked Lady (Hearn), Nova Scotia's favourite new pop songstress (Grant) and a former Walton (...

Jenn Grant — Echoes

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) February 4, 2009 3:22 pm
Echoes might require a few listens before its brilliance sinks in because it's so understated. Grant's voice is a mixture of Kate Bush and Feist with an east coast tinge, and it carries the record extremely well from start to finish. The masterful instrumental arrangements make it hard to believe that this is only Grant's second solo album. "...

Jenn Grant @ CMW 2008

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) March 7, 2008 12:30 pm
BACKGROUND/COMPOSITION: Are the Maritimes the new Montreal? An unusual proportion of today's up-and-coming artists seem to be coming from New Brunswick, P.E.I. and Nova Scotia. With only one full-length disc to her credit, this folky chanteuse is already touring with the likes of Hayden and The Weakerthans. Grade: 84 Comment: Grant...

In The Dead Of Winter Festival Warms Up Halifax

By Shannon Webb-Campbell (CHARTattack) February 4, 2008 2:00 pm
With the corporate season behind us, the longing for spring thickens. But there's one final occasion worth noting before the ground thaws, the leaves start budding and a sense of renewal fills the air — the inaugural In The Dead Of Winter Festival. Posters of the fest's emblematic snowy owl clinging to lampposts via packing tape and staples...

Background/Composition: Jenn Grant's post-Golden Dogs timeslot could have been the kiss of death. Good thing she's so damn charming. Grade: 82 Comment: Jenn Grant and her band display that dreamy, desperate brand of folk pop that brings to mind Sarah Harmer, but on caffeine pills. Achievement of Rock 'n' Roll Expectations 80-100:...

Buck 65 — 20 Odd Years

in
By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) January 31, 2011 3:01 pm
20 Odd Years represents an interesting mile marker for a man who's spent the last two decades restlessly trying to define his relationship with both hip-hop and music in general. Buck 65 has always seemed intent on positioning himself as the rapping lineal descendent of folk singers and storytellers; a sophisticate Stompin' Tom Connors more...

Toronto's Dinosaur Bones will release their My Divider debut album on March 8 through Dine Alone. It was produced by Jon Drew, who's handled discs by Tokyo Police Club, Fucked Up and Arkells, so hopefully it'll be pretty good. Born Ruffians have just announced a Canadian tour that'll take place from mid-March to early April. They're out in support...

Jenn Grant Takes Halifax To Symphony

in
By Shannon Webb-Campbell (CHARTattack) February 22, 2010 5:10 pm
Jenn Grant was hot off the trails of her cross-country tour to the Olympics, and seemed over the moon to be home in Halifax. Perhaps it had something to do with this past weekend's performance with the Nova Scotia Symphony. Dressed in an all white glittery dress, Grant charmed the audience with her somewhat awkward, yet adorable on-stage banter...

Jenn Grant — "You'll Go Far"

in
By CHARTattack Staff November 5, 2009 3:38 pm
Jenn Grant is surrounded by icebergs, docks and animated animals in the video for Echoes' "You'll Go Far." It's got a quiet stillness to it, just like the track. Echoes is out now. You can see Grant's video for Echoes' "Heartbreaker" here.

Jenn Grant — "Heartbreaker"

in
By CHARTattack Staff July 8, 2009 3:05 pm
Jenn Grant's video for "Heartbreaker," from this year's Echoes, follows the P.E.I. singer/songwriter wandering along a dirt road after her car breaks down. She's later sitting nonchalantly in the broken-down car at night before her bandmates approach out of the darkness and a late night mini-symphony of sorts results. By the end, she's...

Jenn Grant's Heartbreak Echoes On Album

Greek mythology has an Echo, and so does Jenn Grant. But instead of losing herself and becoming an afterthought like the mountain nymph, the Halifax-based singer/songwriter has crafted her own lovelorn myth, a new Six Shooter Records album titled Echoes. Grant's rewrite portrays the narrator loud and clear. "It comes from the echoes...
