Jennifer Robin is a vocalist, guitarist, songwriter and recording artist who has been performing her very personal form of jazz/folk music for 30 years. She started composing at the young age of 10. Her first song was a dramatic piano piece entitled “Children In An Orphanage”. At 15 she saw Joni Mitchell perform, got her first guitar which her boyfriend stole for her, and the rest as they say, is history. Being almost entirely self taught she listened to all kinds of music. Some pivotal artists for her were John Martyn, Pentangle, Nancy Wilson, Betty Carter and the group Oregon. Her uniquely titled debut Fish Up A Tree was released worldwide in 1991 on Denon/A&M Records and received critical acclaim, strong airplay on Jazz, College, Wave and National Public radio and was voted one of the Top Ten Favorite Adult Alternative Releases in the radio trade magazine The Gavin Report. Her second CD Eye Of The Storm was released in Japan and Southeast Asia in 1996 on Pony Canyon Records, and was given the highest rating in Stereo Magazine and 4 1/2 stars in Swing Journal. She then released her third CD Nonodey in 2000 on her own label Risky Robin Records and received glowing reviews. After the release of her CD she was diagnosed with an illness that took her on a very different kind of journey, but she never stopped writing music. In 2005 Nonodey got distribution on Rhombus Records and is now available online and in stores. She has put together a new acoustic trio and looks forward to performing soon at a spot near you. Jennifer has toured in both the U.S. and Japan. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
