biographical info
“Mesmerizing’ and ‘amazing’ are just some of comments you hear when Jennifer Clarke, the “Prairie Celt”, takes the stage. She’s especially known for her ability to enchant with a single instrument: her unforgettable voice. To the traditional she adds the flavours of more modern folk instrumentation and contemporary world beat rhythms. With Sandy Thacker on shuttle pipes, Scott Senior on percussion and Dale Brown on electric fiddle, the sound is rich in texture and variety. Jennifer tours regularly across Canada, the UK and the US on a regular basis. Her soulful laments, whimsical humour and gift for storytelling combine to make Jennifer’s concerts ‘must see’ events. She has 2 full length CD’s to her credit the most recent of them being “The Great Silkie – Tales of the Celts”, released in 2001. Captivating her listeners, drawing them into the stories she sings: these are Jennifer’s strengths. Young or old, it’s impossible to resist as she spins tales of the human spirit.
