Singer-songwriter Jennifer Lyons Announces New EP Release
Run the Wild is the highly anticipated release of 5 tracks written and produced at Monique Studios Cork (Mick Flannery, Oh Emperor, Niall Mc Cabe, Susan O Neil, Jack O Rourke). Coinciding with her EP tour which will take place in De Barras, Seachurch, Kennys and finishing in Coughlans Cork city where Jennifer is originally from.
Jennifer has described her work as alternative folk, while growing up with traditional music as staple in her early years, her real roots for song writing and instrumentation were found through a back catalogue of female artists Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, Allanis Morrisette, Florence and the Machine, Dolores O Riordan and Sinead O Connor. When asked “What kind of music do you write”,
Jennifer replies ‘I think that it is important to write from a place of authenticity, I have often walked into studio with a page of lyrics only to find once I am in the vocal booth that I have something else to say. If you can dig down into your vulnerabilities and use them to craft a song then hopefully someone out there may hear your voice and it will resignate to them on their own journey.”
Run the Wild is accompanied by the inimitable talents of Christian Best (mixing/production), Alan Comerford and John Ryan on guitars with some keys contribution from Daragh Keary.
She has described the writing process for the EP as “at times Cathartic and healing, I worked full time in a Nursing Home during the Covid Pandemic and with that came some beautiful friendships followed quickly by a baptism of fire in Pallative Care, following working through two outbreaks and isolation for essentially a year, surfacing back into the world of entertainment I battled with feelings of depression and disconnect, my nervous system was all over the place. I no longer lived with the ease of a free spirited musician. Hindsight, I was carrying and processing a lot of grief. I did not sing for 3 months, not even in my car..the music just stopped”. “Stepping into studio was the turn point, the creative space provided to me by Christian was a free for all, there were no rules and with that my love for songwriting returned.”
