After completing college on a vocal scholarship, Jennifer became a sought-after act in Memphis – performing select dates on Beale Street and developed a strong local following that led to singing backup for 60’s pop-legend, Bobby Freeman. A move to Nashville in 2000 introduced her unique vocal skills to The Black Widow Band – a seasoned, soul-funk cover band - and landed her dates with Waldo Weathers – legendary saxophonist formerly with the late, great James Brown. Music Row publishers and creative directors took notice of Nashville’s newest resident, and it wasn’t long before Jennifer was signed to a developmental artist deal with Bluewater Music. Her affiliation with Bluewater also led to studio tribute album projects for Julie Roberts and K.T. Tunstall for CMA Records. 2008- highly regarded Nashville producer, Jim Reilley, took interest in Jennifer’s unique style and together they produced “2 years” – an independent album project that Jennifer proudly says, “….has been tagged as very un-Nashville.” Co-writer on 6 of the 10 tracks, Jennifer Dixon sings her mind and gives listeners a glimpse into her personality and life via lyrics and vocal expression.
