Quotes:

Ramrock Red Records are very proud to present ‘The Jennifer Ewan Band’ who perform a stirring mix of compelling original songs on their brand new 3 track EP, ‘Something Ain’t Right’, where they blend Louisiana blues and old-time Cajun dance music with a Celtic tint and their own amazing energy, which has spawned a new genre hashtag - #CelticCajun. Jennifer’s distinctive, rich Scots voice soars over the Bayou grooves supported by an intricate interplay of accordion, flute, acoustic guitar, fretless bass and percussion, provided by singer-songwriter/guitarist Jennifer Ewan, accordionist and flautist Kim Tebble (Deaf Heights Cajun Aces), Jamie Hogg on bass and percussionist Paul Dennington. Jennifer says, ‘There’s a lot of Scotland in our music – my love song to Portobello beach, the run-down flats I’ve rented in Edinburgh back streets, and my time guiding tourists under the Royal Mile on Ghost Tours. I really adore the live feel of Louisiana French Creole and Cajun music combined with my own Scottish contemporary sounds. I think it all fits together perfectly and feeds the head, the heart and the soul.’

The Jennifer Ewan band first brought their show, ‘Bonnie Bayou’, to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2017 and performed to sell-out audiences throughout their twelve shows, building on this success at the 2018 and 2019 Festival with highly acclaimed runs at the Jazz Bar. During lockdown, the band filmed a successful online Fringe show for the Covid restricted 2021 Festival, at Narrowboat Farm on the Union Canal. They returned to live shows at The Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2022 and performed their new show ‘Bonnie Bayou Blues’, featuring the sounds of Cajun Blues, to packed houses at the Jazz Bar for their nine show run. The Jennifer Ewan Band has also been extensively touring the Highlands of Scotland with the Touring Network and NEAT and playing numerous gigs and festivals across the country. Jennifer has also added her beautiful vocals to D.Foe’s forthcoming single, ‘Fool’ on Ramrock Red Records.

In 2023 the band will not only be performing constantly but will also be releasing their follow up EP “Space Girl” with Ramrock Red Records – it’s out of this world….
