The words 'mesmerizing' and 'amazing' are just some of comments you hear from critics and audience alike when this Prairie Celtic folk singer takes the stage. Jennifer Clarke is one of the most engaging acts on the Celtic scene, whether performing solo or with her band, 'Wild Mountain Thyme'. She's especially known for her ability to enchant with only a single instrument: her unforgettable voice.
A second-generation Scottish-Canadian, Jennifer's connection to her heritage has given her an intuitive sense for traditional Celtic music. To this she adds the flavours of more modern folk instrumentation and contemporary world beat rhythms, relying on her unerring sense of what's needed to bring out the story behind the song. The end result is a sound, rich in texture and variety.
In Concert
Jennifer's flexible performance style makes her a natural for everything from intimate house concert or coffeehouse to the main stages of Celtic and folk festivals. She has shared stages with the likes of Shooglenifty, Buddy McMaster, Vance Gilbert and The Wyrd Sisters. Her soulful laments, whimsical humour, relaxed stage presence and gift for storytelling combine to make Jennifer's concerts 'must see' events.
