Maryland native and roots rocker, Jennifer Van Meter, has been at it for over twenty years now as a songwriter and performer. With a catalog of songs pushing the sixty mark, the genre lines continue to blur while she refuses to constrict the songs from becoming what they will, as her influences span from Strand of Oaks to Lucinda Williams to Blackberry Smoke. Her band consists of two veteran Raleigh players, Bruce Clark and Larry Woodard, and songwriter/drummer turned bassist, Braxton Lindsay and their collaboration brings a sound reminiscent of Tom Petty and the Pretenders colliding. She’s performed from her adopted hometown of Clayton, NC’s Harvest Festival to the Key West Songwriter’s Festival as well as many bars, breweries and clubs throughout the years. Her list of artists that she’s performed with includes The Lone Bellow, Kasey Chambers, LoCash, Devon Allman, Lissie and Robyn Hitchcock. Jen’s song “Roadside Flower” was featured as American Songwriter’s ‘Daily Discovery’ and her up and coming release will feature the revered Doug Pettibone.
