Jennifer Porter's new album, recorded with legendary drummer / music director, Bernard Purdie and his band. The album consists of nine original songs and a cover of the Dino Valenti classic, "Something On Your Mind." Purdie and the rest of the players on Sun Come And Shine comprise a true all-star roster. Steve Jankowski (Nile Rogers/Chic, Blood Sweat & Tears), George Naha (Sam & Dave), Wilbur Bascomb (James Brown) and more form a backing band that makes its undeniable precision seem almost effortless. Special guests include Christian McBride, CJ Chenier and Cindy Cashdollar. Aside from being the perfect counterpart to her refined songwriting style, the backdrop they create enables Porter to take her sweet and sultry vocal style to new heights. The songs don't just flow from one to the next, they create individual moods that add up to an immersive experience that gently grabs you and subtly shakes you.

"With a mix between the writing talent of Carole King and the soul of Norah Jones, all of Jennifer's skills on "Sun Come and Shine" are showcased in an unparalleled masterpiece." - Rootsville, NL

Jennifer Porter's 2018 album from Grammy-winning producer, Jay Newland, featuring five original songs by Jennifer and five covers from The Rolling Stones, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, and Bobby Sharpe.

After years working just under the radar in the music industry, Jennifer’s beautiful voice and evocative songs caught the attention of 12-time Grammy-winning producer, Jay Newland. "These Years" is the product of their collaboration, and consists of five original songs by Jennifer and five covers of songs by The Rolling Stones, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, and Bobby Sharp. The music features Jennifer’s unique, sultry voice backed by a stellar band. The album also showcases guest appearances by Grammy nominee C.J. Chenier on accordion and Country Music Hall-of-Famer, Charlie McCoy on harmonica and vibes.

Jennifer worked with longtime friends and Grammy-winners, Lawrence Manchester, and Adam Ayan on the mixing and mastering of the album. Manchester currently works as a producer and lead music mixer on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. To date, Ayan has mastered 42 Grammy Award-winning recordings.

Jennifer’s previous album "Easy Living", with Manchester, was nominated for a 2015 Independent Music Award in the Jazz With Vocals category, and received airplay throughout the country, including over a year on KJAZZ in Los Angeles, WWOZ in New Orleans and Public Radio International’s "Jazz After Hours." "These Years" is Jennifer's seventh album to date.

"These Years" is heavily influenced by Soul, Blues, and Roots music and will be released under Porter’s Maine-based label, Cougar Moon Music. This new album is a departure from her previous Jazz and film score recordings, yet retains Jennifer’s rich, lovely sound.
