From Last.fm:

Jenee Halstead weaves thoughtful lyrics and honeycoated vocals with a soul that reaches beyond her years. Her talented alto projects strength and tenderness, heartbreak and jubilation, as the listener is swept along through well crafted stories in an updated Americana style with recognizable roots in the earliest American Folk traditions.

With heroines like Emmylou Harris, June Carter and Patty Griffin, Jenee Halstead is poised to make her mark in a scene that is experienced renewed interest around the world.

Halstead grew up in Washington State, a singing tomboy with a restless heart. Her father is an avid music fan who surrounded her with the best of American rock.

In The River Grace, Jenee Halstead puts forth a collection of songs effortlessly suited to her voice, mixing dobro, mandolin, and upright bass with vintage Casio keyboards and subtle electronic beats. From catchy yet subtle "Before I Go" to the tragic balladry of "Darkest Day," The River Grace's sound is rooted in the past yet beckons the progression of Americana.

The River Grace was recorded and produced by Evan Brubaker with whom Halstead plans to collaborate further. Jenee is joined on this album by keyboard wizard Steve Moore (Bright Eyes, Laura Veirs, Mount Analog), dobroist Mike Grigoni (Anais Mitchell), mandolinist Zak Borden (Willy Mason), and bassist Matthew Weiner (Asylum Street Spankers). The River Grace also features background vocals by a host of her most esteemed peers including Rose Polenzani, Holly O'Reilly, and Monique Lanier.

One unique characteristic of Jenee Halstead's music is it's sheer listenability. A consistent remark by reviewers and fans is how easy it is to leave Jenee's discs on repeat and not tire of the beauty and craftmanship of her creative talent.
