She was born in 1979, has blonde hair, and blue eyes, from Collinsville, IL.-- but at heart, Jennifer Norman is just an old-fashion country girl. In a recent interview, Western Star Records recording artist tells us more about her life.
"I learned to sing growing up in church, and listening to the country gospel sounds of Glen Campbell, Bruce Haynes, and Michael James. I have been playing music most of my life."
"In october 2002, I met up with Robert Metzgar of Capitol Management in Nashville, and he helped me a lot showing me the ropes, and getting me started in the music business. (He was the executive producer on this cd.) I am no longer working with Robert as my producer, but I do owe him many thanks for helping me get started."
In addition to making music and performing, Jennifer works full time in the newpaper business as an advertising account executive.
"I've been fortunate enough to be able to perform in front of thousands of people in my local area on T.V. news shows, minor league baseball games, and events such as fairs, weddings, and clubs. I have taken several trips to Nashville, TN to perform live on various TV shows. "Nashville On Stage" that is aired on Nashville's local PBS channel, and the Nashville showcase.."Keeping Country Alive." In February of 2004, I was invited to perform among other up-and-comers in Taylorville, IL at the Nashville North USA concert club. It was a great time, and I met a lot of wonderful people. I love being on that stage, under all the lights with a great band behind me!
"I am often asked to describe my music, not really knowing how to do that, I'll just say this...I don't try to sound like anyone else, I have my own style, and that is the way I like it. My personal favorites in country music are Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Chalee Tennison, Gary Allan, and Reba Mcentire. My favorites in other genres of music are Detroit based band, the White Stripes, and Milwaukee based band, the BoDeans."
"I chose these songs because I love the 'heart' that I can put into them as I sing them. I want a song with a meaning, and hope that I can just a shade of a memory in someone's life." (Thanks for reading my thoughts)
You can also find Jennifer on the Western Star Records compilation disc. Roger Blair, the president and CEO of Western Star Records has been very instumental in getting me some radio play overseas in Switzerland, Belgium, New Zealand, and Australia...and now I have been added to stations in Australia, and Ireland...and several stations here in the USA.
Please remember...if you like what you hear, call your local country radio station and tell them about her, and where they can find her music.
