Jen Wood's enchantingly beautiful voice has been heard on The Black Heart Procession's "1", Joan of Arc's "Live in Chicago 1999", and Juno's "This Is The Way It Goes and Goes and Goes". Her songs have been featured in the Sony / Mirimax film "But I'm a Cheerleader" and on episodes of Dawson's Creek.
Vegetarian, graphic designer and avid cat lover, Jen Wood is quite possibly this next decades premier singer / songwriter.
"In her music, she is searching for truth and meaning through a haze of shadows, only hoping she has the strength to greet them when they finally arrive." - The Rocket
"Following in the footsteps of Northwestern do-it-yourself singers like Lois and the Spinnanes Rebecca Gates, Wood crafts poignantly personal songs with layered harmonies and simple instrumentation. A spare but powerful style." - CMJ Monthly
"She's a calmer, more intelligent alternative to the countless other erstwhile feminist rockers littering the airwaves" - Raygun
"She compounds melodies of increasing strength and sweeping beauty into modern underground spirituals for the irony soaked set. I, for one, am glad to witness the slow shift from self conscious apathy to honest empathy which seems to be transforming the so-called X Generation. Absolutely essential." - The Big Takeover
"Stark folkish beauty is the upshot, sans the static of fashionability." - Entertainment Weekly
