Ferron March 16, 2008

Ferron is a Canadian folk-song poet laureate. By listening to her music, audiences are allowed to acknowledge the passage of time, people, memories and hopes, through her poetic metaphors. The singer/songwriter from Davis, California, (known to many as one of the dynamic singers in the NorCal eclectic septet Mumbo Gumbo) blends the two styles in a way that has distanced her from the country mainstream but endeared her to fans of soulful singing. Webster's is an authoritative voice that manages to make existential angst, romantic confusion and spiritual longing sound uncommonly appealing. Each note she sings conveys a probing, acute sensitivity to the little complications of life and love, with a sexy edge to boot -- Webster is a real find, a great singer who has found her voice but not her niche. Jennifer Berezan's intense and personal approach to her music has brought her strong rapport with audiences from small clubs to large festivals throughout North America and Europe.
