You Are Creation by Jennifer Friedman

& the Fort Collins Forum

It’s not escaped me that Jennifer’s social consciousness plays a heartfelt leader on her folk-singer style release. Good lyrical intentions and Jennifer’s high-end opera style vocals in songs like Words and Only Child speak truthfully of her tone and deliverance home. The projects overall feeling is one of a great effort and I would be interested in seeing where her next release lands : ) Sweet and kind. I enjoyed the honesty and lyrical banter.

Jennifer is no stranger to the spotlight or big audiences, having developed in the rich artistic culture just

outside of Chicago. As a teenager, she relished performances in front of thousands singing the American &

Canadian National Anthems for the Peoria Chiefs baseball team and Peoria Rivermen hockey team. She starred

in stage productions with many noteworthy artists including Andrew Driscoll who went on to play the leading

role in the Broadway production of Miss Saigon, contemporary ballet composer, Derek Childs, and Chad Luberger who has played supporting roles in the TV series “Jag.” Now living in Colorado, Jennifer stands out as the up & coming acoustic musician of the Rocky Mountain Front Range. A combination of outstanding vocal work, reflective lyrics, and beautiful melodies highlighted by intricate guitar playing, have earned Jen a place on the must hear lists of folk fans and socially conscious people alike. Jennifer released her debut album, “You are Creation” in October 2005 and selections from the album are being played on the Colorado Wave, a syndicated radio program aired throughout the Mountain West and her song, "Creation" will be featured in an independent film called "the Garden." Jennifer has studied songwriting technique with some of the brightest national pop and folk artists including Lisa Loeb, Catie Curtis, Vance Gilbert, Beth Nielsen-Chapman, and Peter Mayer, as well as regional musicians Rebecca Folsom and Maggie Simpson. She is currently working on her second studio album and can be heard singing back-up on award winning Minnesota folk artist, Lisa Kane’s, fourth album “Armstrong Avenue.” Jennifer has performed at coffeehouses, clubs, and festivals up and down the Colorado Front Range for many years, moving audiences with her beautifully clear, melodic voice and passionate performance.
