Jennifer Porter is an award-winning musician and actor. Her internationally acclaimed albums “Sun Come And Shine” and “These Years” earned her 2020 and 2021 W.A.M. awards for Best Roots/Americana/Blues Album and a 2019 Independent Music Network award for Best Female Crossover Artist. Her music has hit #1 on New Music Weekly’s and National Radio Hits’ Country Charts, Roots Music Report’s Jazzy Blues charts and Portugal’s Blues Radio Charts. Her jazz album, Easy Living, was nominated for a 2015 Independent Music Award.
On her new album, Sun Come And Shine, Jennifer Porter fine-tunes her blues with a soul-funk undercurrent, taking her music to new places while maintaining a firm grasp on her roots. “This record leans more toward blues than my other albums,” she comments. “But I’ve always loved soul and funk, too, which is one of many reasons I was so excited to work with Bernard.” Bernard is none other than iconic drummer Bernard “Pretty” Purdie, who not only plays on the record but also served as musical director.
Purdie and the rest of the players on Sun Come And Shine comprise a true all-star roster. Christian McBride, CJ Chenier, Steve Jankowski (Nile Rogers/Chic, Blood Sweat & Tears), George Naha (Sam & Dave), Cindy Cashdollar, Wilbur Bascomb and more form a backing band that makes its undeniable precision seem almost effortless. Aside from being the perfect counterpart to her refined songwriting style, the backdrop they create enables Porter to take her sweet and sultry vocal style to new heights. The songs don’t just flow from one to the next, they create individual moods that add up to an immersive experience that gently grabs you and subtly shakes you.
