"The stunning album is a Cash & Carter-like country duet of timeless nostalgia-inducing Americana and modern folk-pop that positions her as the next great voice in folk music." - The Atlas and the Anchor "An intelligent and insightful songwriter of note." - Mark Simos "A renowned, soulful singer-songwriter and fiddler" - Examiner.com Up and coming fiddler and singer/songwriter Jen Starsinic’s musical journey has, thus far, been quite impressive. After landing a full-time bluegrass fiddling gig at the age of 14, busking on street corners, studying old time at its source in Clifftop, WV, and hitting the road with top touring Americana bands such as The David Mayfield Parade, Darol Anger and The Republic of Strings, and Nora Jane Struthers, Starsinic is ready to stand on her own two feet. Starsinic just released The Flood and The Fire, her debut record. While you are most likely to see Jen Starsinic toting a fiddle or open back banjo, hallmarks of her old time roots, The Flood and The Fire is certainly not an old time record. While there are vestiges of vintage Appalachia throughout the recording, there are hints of country heartache, droning Irish folk, cello, and haunting pedal steel. Her beautiful voice, powerful guitar, virtuosic fiddle skills and stunning talent as a songwriter combine into a beautiful mixture of modern songwriting and American roots music. Each tune represents an aching, a longing, and the snapshot the record offers into the musical soul of Jen Starsinic is startling; this young woman is most certainly a rising voice in contemporary Americana.
