Following the announcement of her forthcoming holiday record – Forever on Christmas Eve, set to drop on November 27 – Jenn Grantshares the album’s lead single, Downtown Christmas Eve. Presented in both English and French versions, the track comes alongside a playful and festive video.
Forever On Christmas Eve was recorded during last year’s holiday season, and is filled with Patsy Cline-style swagger – showcasing Jenn covering all of the classics, in addition to her own new original, Downtown Christmas Eve. The album is available for pre-order now, along with products from local Nova Scotia businesses and artisans, with whom Jenn partnered to create special Forever On Christmas Eve gift bundles.
To celebrate the album’s release, Jenn will be giving special live performances throughout the Maritimes, including a stop at Charlottetown’s Homburg Theatre on November 13th, and a hometown Halifax show at the Halifax Convention Centre on December 6th. Tickets are on sale now, with full details to be found below.
In June of 2019, Jenn released her latest full-length album, Love, Inevitable. The record was a marker for a period of change in Jenn’s life; of moving through one moment and leaving it behind, almost carefree, for another. After making four consecutive albums with her husband, Daniel Ledwell (and being nominated for three JUNO Awards), Jenn stepped out of her usual comfort zone and reached out to Grammy nominated American producer and engineer, Tucker Martine. A synergetic and collaborative team was born, spending the bulk of the summer months recording in Portland, Oregon. Jenn earned earned four 2020 East Coast Music Award nominations for the album: Folk Recording of the Year, Solo Recording of the Year, Fans’ Choice Entertainer of the Year, and Fans’ Choice Video of the Year for Keep A Light On. In February of 2020, she followed up with Reimagine EP, which acted as a companion piece to Love, Inevitable. The EP was recorded around Nashville and at Echo Lake Recordings in Nova Scotia, and featured three new original tracks, a cover of Don Henley’s Boys Of Summer, and an acoustic version of Love, Inevitable single, Raven.
