Jean Harnett returns to Seattle... 

 



     
Irish songbird, Jean Harnett, returns to Seattle in November to perform a series of concerts in support of her debut EP "Bricks & Mortar". This gifted artist is equal parts "Mississippi Delta" blended with the wilds of West Ireland. An honest, thoughtful, and powerful songsmith, Jean's music stirs up comparisons to Damien Rice, Alison Krauss, and Glen Hansard, while having a 'familiar' and distinct sound all its own. With "Bricks & Mortar", Jean deftly navigates the waters of complex subject matter (relationships, family, and growing up) with impassioned storytelling, haunting melody, and a swagger that transcends her tender age.

If you missed Jean's Summer performances in Seattle, here is your chance to see one of Ireland's most gifted female songwriters live in concert on Saturday, November 17 at The Skylark Cafe in Seattle. Jean will be sharing the stage with Hidden Lakes from St. Louis and local favorite Spandrel. This will be a night of music that you won't want to miss, so come early and witness the very best in independent music...
