In the Press
“Marriott also draws plenty of comparisons to Janis Joplin as she blends acoustic folk with jazz and electric blues into a uniquely danceable sound. This London, Ontario native sings the blues as if she was born a lot closer to its delta roots.”
“Jennifer can seduce into relaxation with the words of her songs, then her soft melodic voice can take on a Janice Joplin growl, or a downtown rhythm and blues wail setting the stage alive..”
“With her husky, dusky voice, Jennifer Marriott gives a distinctive soulfulness that is infinitely easy to hear”
“Jennifer was a treat to watch with vocals reminiscent of a young Rickie Lee Jones.”
“..she loves telling a good story in her music, she gives the story energy and the audience feeds it back to her….”
