Singer-Songwriter Jenn Grant and The Daily Drum

Re-Creative Spotlight: Jenn Grant In this episode of Re-Creative (https://re-creative.ca/) , Mark and I talk to singer-songwriter Jenn Grant (https://re-creative.ca/the-daily-drum/) about coffee, smoothies, and a whole lot more, including Jenn’s upcoming tour Cradled by the Waves, described as “a groundbreaking live tour that transforms her forthcoming album, Queen of the Strait, into a stunning multimedia performance blending music, film, theatre, and dance.” My wife and I have tickets to see Jenn on this tour at the Capital Theatre in Moncton (https://capitol.nb.ca/en/tickets-even...) . I was already keen to see Jenn perform, but after hearing her describe her plans for this personal, ambitious show, I can hardly wait! Drawing inspiration from Sarah Harmer, Jenn sees her work as an act of service, viewing music and art as forms of resistance, especially in these troubled times. We talk about how her current album Queen of the Strait was recorded “live off the floor” in four magical days, in their own home studio, and how the “Queen” in the title is an homage to her mother, who displayed remarkable resilience during a tumultuous time in their lives. Jenn also shares the true story behind her wonderful song “Jim Cuddy Dress” (the title of which I mess up in the introduction!) There is also a very cool video (   • Jim Cuddy Dress - Jenn Grant - Official Video  ) for Jim Cuddy Dress that I recommend you check out, especially if you want some glimpses of Prince Edward Island back in the day. Because it’s what we do on Re-Creative, we also talked to Jenn about some of her favourite art. She spoke passionately about her own journey with visual art and her admiration for the work of Mi’kmaq artist Alan Syliboy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Sy...) , and about the importance of reconciliation and supporting the long-standing work of indigenous creators. Long ago, back in 2007, I had the great pleasure of recording Jenn on the CBC Radio show Q (https://www.cbc.ca/arts/q) . It was so great to have the chance to speak with her again in the company of my good pal and co-host Mark Rayner. As a special treat, we close the episode with another “live off the floor” recording: this time that very recording I made of Jenn on Q so long ago, in Studio 203 of the Toronto Broadcast Centre. It’s one my favourite songs of Jenn’s: Dreamer. Support Our Guest Jenn Grant is a three-time Juno-nominated singer, songwriter, and internationally acclaimed recording artist whose music has been described as “the aural equivalent of a warm embrace” (Pop Matters), “majestic vocals” (Consequence of Sound), and “dreamy, harp-and-woodwinds folk, the work of a painter born in paradise” (The Age, AU). With eight studio albums to date, she has become one of Canada’s most distinctive voices, earning East Coast Music Awards, a Polaris Prize long-listing, and widespread recognition for her ethereal sound and evocative storytelling. Her forthcoming album, Queen of the Strait (2026), is her most personal work yet. Co-produced with Joshua Van Tassel (Bahamas, Christine Bougie, Doug Paisley) and longtime collaborator Daniel Ledwell, it is a modern-day classic of country and Americana, elevated by Jenn’s unmistakable pop-infused charm. You can pre-order Queen of the Strait now on Bandcamp. (https://jenngrant.bandcamp.com/album/...) There is also a very cool video (https://substack.com/redirect/935177d...) for Jim Cuddy Dress that we recommend you check out, especially if you want some glimpses of Prince Edward Island back in the day.
