Jeanne Jolly

"Succinctly, her vocals are a knockout. Wrap all of her talents together and she attains one of the most challenging goals of a performing artist: to have the public actually care about the singer. It’s a beautiful marriage and everybody wins; the audience entrusting the artist to take them on a journey that is emotionally fulfilling. That comes with responsibility and Miss Jolly seems more than capable of accepting and nurturing it."  — John Fonvielle, The Beat Magazine

"In October 2010, Jolly released her new EP Falling in Carolina. It's a great collection of songs she has written since moving back home to North Carolina. Featuring Jolly's beautifully strong and soulful vocals which immediately engage the listener. She is undeniably a versatile singer with an amazing and rare ability to sing with the sophistication of modern jazz and the simple passion of an Appalachian Americana. Jolly has a gorgeous voice that isn't something you hear or happen upon everyday, therefore with pure talent like this, Jolly is destined to have a successful career.

"Her songs are personal, direct, and emotional. Her musical training comes through in her melodies and chord choices, but it’s her voice that holds it all together. Her vocals are so versatile that she takes the listener on a journey of moods and perspectives; not easy to do song after song. She transforms from a belting Linda Ronstadt to a plaintive Margo Timmins of The Cowboy Junkies to a defiant Patsy Cline. She displays changing textures and timbres throughout her album.
