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, 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. Grant invites audiences into an unforgettable new world with Cradled by the Waves, a groundbreaking live tour that transforms her forthcoming album, Queen of the Strait, into a stunning multimedia performance blending music, film, theatre and dance. Grant’s most personal work to date, Queen of the Strait draws from her childhood in Prince Edward Island and the timeless pull of the Atlantic. The live experience reimagines those songs in motion - a moving meditation on grief, transformation and the beauty of beginning again.
Each show is an immersive, cinematic experience featuring a live band, curated film sequences and interpretive movement. Together, these elements create a dreamlike landscape where the songs flow seamlessly into one another. Co-created with a celebrated team of collaborators including producers Daniel Ledwell and Joshua Van Tassel, Irish director Julie Kelleher, and cinematographer Daniel Grant, Cradled by the Waves invites audiences to reflect on love, loss and the fragility of life through a communal and deeply emotional lens.
Step through the portal and be part of a shared moment that blurs the line between audience and artist - a living, breathing work of art that changes with every performance.
