"(the songs) range from stadium-friendly extravaganzas to more intimate but equally outspoken pub-sized opuses. Lead singer Keith Roberts' powerhouse vocals front a maelstrom of fiddle vamps, howling guitars and frenzied drums. But even so, the hint of rueful melancholy that lies at the heart of traditional Celtic music survives, transformed
yet triumphant." -Amazon Music
Jolene’s about as authentically Nashville as you can get.
Yep - named after the song - Jolene comes from a rich musical background growing up in Franklin, Tennessee. Her dad, celebrated sound engineer and songwriter Donivan Cowart, worked with Dolly back in the day.
A studio mouse from the time she was born, she soaked in the influences of Johnny, Emmylou, and Willie. She listened to Rodney Crowell and Roseanne Cash records being mixed and songs as they were being written. And it all made a lifelong lasting impression on her and taught her the power of sharing our stories through music.
And as she grew up and started collecting records by Sheryl Crow, the Chicks, and Fiona Apple, her own unique blend of roots Americana, folk, & 90s vibes became her signature sound and a storied life, her coal mine.
Recently off the road with her "Uncle" Rodney Crowell, Jolene is embarking on her own journey as an artist with a new song, "My Ally Creed" coming out June 28th.
