About

Jenn Grant

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.

Grant’s 2023 collaborative project, Champagne Problems, brought together 13 musicians from across Canada, including Bahamas, Dan Mangan, Basia Bulat, and Kevin Drew (Broken Social Scene). The record, born out of pandemic-era vulnerability and creative risk, earned her the 2024 East Coast Music Award for Songwriter of the Year and song of the year for ‘Judy’ her collaboration with dear friend and bandmate, Kim Harris.

Across her career, Grant has collected dozens of accolades, including multiple ECMA and Music Nova Scotia awards, the Canadian Folk Music Award for Solo Artist of the Year, and recognition from CBC Music as Singer-Songwriter of the Year. Her voice - simultaneously intimate and expansive - has carried her from small folk clubs to international festival stages, with songs that resonate across borders while remaining deeply rooted in place.

With Queen of the Strait, Grant affirms her place as one of Canada’s most compelling storytellers - an artist whose songs feel both timeless and urgently present, carrying us across waters both real and imagined.
