History of Performer / Band |
Seattle-based, nationally touring independent musician jean mann is a noted singer-songwriter, guitarist, multi-media artist/craftswoman, and chef. A renaissance woman in a modern day world, jean's self-taught, "alternafolk" has been compared to Ani Di Franco, Joni Mitchell, and Norah Jones. However, with the release of her sophomore album, Seasons, she is emerging as a voice all her own. Her songs wind around life and love, speaking volumes in simple prose. The recording project was co-produced and engineered by Blues Traveler's Brendan Hill.
