Jenner Fox

A tootsie roll can take you back to your elementary school playground; a list of baby names becomes a prayer; the absurdity of a toothless refrigerator technician reminds you to say “I love you.” A tootsie roll can take you back to your elementary school playground; a list of baby names becomes a prayer; the voice of a toothless refrigerator man reminds you to say “I love you.” Jenner Fox tells the stories of people and places with unparalleled compassion and respect. His artful tone, poetry, and fluency on his guitar do something only the brave ones do: let us in. He followed the family river trade and recorded his debut album to make some extra money selling CDs on the boat ramp after rafting trips. Five albums later, a decade of cutting his teeth on the river and road, Jenner is a storyteller, a peanut butter purist, a cargo bike advocate, a Pacific NorthWesterner, and that rare kind of songwriter with the ability to, “Gather up what we see as common as crab apples and polish them into shiny orbs. To give himself and let us see ourselves.” – Sheridan Press.

“Jenner combines the lyricism of Joni Mitchell and the commentary of Neil Young to represent the next generation of singer-songwriters.” – Grammy nominated producer, Cookie Marenco

Currently based in Seattle, Washington, the internationally touring troubadour has called many places his home: California, Connecticut, rural Chile, Texas, Oregon, and now Washington. Jenner's music has moved audiences from the years spent busking on the street corners of Palo Alto with his high school band, to countless riverside campfires, to small living rooms all across the US, to the eight thousand capacity Hayden Homes Amphitheater alongside Trampled By Turtles in 2021. (Trampled by Turtles lead singer, Dave Simonett, happened to hear Jenner play at an obscure lodge in the Oregon woods and invited him to open for the band at the Hayden Homes Amphitheater two days later). His most recent album Planet I’m From (2021) features musical contributions from Chris "Critter" Eldridge (Punch Brothers), Brittany Haas (Dave Rawlings Machine, Crooked Still), and was produced by Lawson White (Lake Street Dive). His forthcoming album The Moon That Moves The Sea, is an all acoustic live effort with guitarist Jeremy Elliott , the LP will be released in February 2024 and supported by a national tour.

“I think the world of his songs. He’s not just good for on a river, he’s DAMN good” – Grammy finalist for best song, Mike Posner. (Remarked after Jenner guided pop icon’s river trip on Chile’s Futaleufú river in 2018).
