JENNELL TO RELEASE\u00a0HOME\u00a0<\/em>ON AUGUST 28th<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

EP mixes rootsy stomp of folk music with hooks and harmonies of pop<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nashville-based singer\/songwriter Jennell is set to release her latest EP,\u00a0Home<\/em>, on August 28, 2015.\u00a0 A five-song EP that mixes the rootsy stomp of folk music with the hooks and harmonies of pop,\u00a0Home<\/em>\u00a0was recorded in Nashville and produced by Dewey Boyd Jr. at the Forty-One-Fifteen recording studio.\u00a0 It’s a record about traveling across the country in search of a new home, chasing dreams, and experiencing a roller-coaster’s worth of ups and downs along the way. The driving percussion and gang vocals might evoke comparisons to the Lumineers and Mumford & Sons, but Home doesn’t really sound like them. It sounds like Jennell.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so excited about the new album,\u201d says Jennell.\u00a0 \u201cI am more excited about this than anything I have ever done. \u00a0I worked so hard on this project and was involved in every detail of making the EP, that no matter what happens, I will be proud of it. It is honest and from the heart\u2026 it is my story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Years before she moved to Nashville with an acoustic guitar and a catalog of melody-driven indie pop\/folk songs, Jennell spent her childhood in Casper, Wyoming, where she had dreams of becoming a singer.\u00a0 Performances with her high school and college choirs whet her appetite for more. \u00a0Jennell packed her bags and left for Los Angeles, kickstarting a musical career that’s earned her comparisons to Sheryl Crow, Colbie Caillat and KT Tunstall.<\/p>\n

While taking grad school classes at the University of Southern California, she also began writing poetry, playing the guitar, and writing her own songs. Working with producer Dan Diaz, she wrote and recorded her debut EP,\u00a0The Game<\/em>, which received a boost in popularity after several songs wound their way onto cable TV shows (“Giuliana and Bill,” “E! True Hollywood Story”). After producers Patrick Bolton and Will Luke heard her sing, they hired her as a backup singer, with Jennell going on to sing harmonies for Atlantic Records recording artist Hope and Disney Channel star Roshon Fegan. Meanwhile, she continued pursuing her solo career.<\/p>\n

After releasing\u00a0Urban Cowboy<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Boots N Dukes<\/em>, two EPs heavily influenced by country music, Jennell decided to move to Nashville in March 2014. \u201cMoving to Nashville was one of the best decisions I have made,\u201d Jennell says. \u201cI don\u2019t regret living in LA, because I have so many great memories and it was a great learning experience, but Nashville is where I belong. Nashville has a touch of Wyoming\u2019s small town charm, mixed with the excitement and entertainment industry of Los Angeles. It\u2019s a perfect blend and great place for me to grow as an artist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oddly enough, once she arrived in the capital of country music, she began writing songs that reached beyond the genre’s borders.\u00a0Home<\/em>, her first release as a Nashville resident, is her most wide-ranging collection of music to date.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last song on the EP, \u2018Feels Like Home,\u2019 is a perfect way for me to end the EP, because, for the first time in my life, I finally feel like I am exactly where I am supposed to be,\u201d Jennell says.\u00a0 \u201cI have worked extremely hard this past year, soul searching, writing and finding my voice as an artist and I feel \u2018home.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
