Sticking close to home these days Writing and getting ready to record a new cd!!! - produced by Grammy winner Trina Shoemaker (Sheryl Crow, Lucinda Williams, Queens Of The Stone Age) and Stephen George (Rick Ocasek, Paul Simon, Mary J.Blige). Thanks to everyone for supporting my tour this past summer!!- You ROCK!!

NO DEPRESSION Although she lives in New York City now, Jennie Arnau grew up ion South Carolina. Listening to her new album, the title of which refers to the coastal town where Arnau used to vacation, one is reminded of the old adage about being able to take the girl out of the country but not the country out of the girl. Produced by Trina Shoemaker (Lucinda Williams, Queens of the Stone Age, Emmylou Harris), Mt. Pleasant curiously adds a hint of west coast folk to the prevailing Americana sound of songs such as "Float On", "You're Not Alone" and "Bottle Rocket". The best track, "To Live Without Love", features an airy guitar riff that nicely weaves in and out of Arnau's voice, which is strong without sacrificing its femininity. She might reside in the Big Apple, but to paraphrase James Taylor, in her mind Arnau's gone to Carolina.

HONEST TUNE A healthy dose of country reverberates from the first single “You’re Not Alone” off of singer/songwriter Jennie Arnau’s recent release, Mt. Peasant. This year’s full-length album is destined to become a hit with college radio, Americana music fans and genre-riding cowgirls half at home in country and western and half in ass-kickin’ rock and roll. “Who Will Come With Me” is edgy and gutsy, filled with thick guitar and entrancing organ. Dramatically the tempo drops and “Holidays” shoes a more seductive and jazzy sound from the singer. The album as a whole shows great depth and eclectic influence running from jazzy and light to dark and mysterious. Not only does the great singer write solid songs, she has a tasteful band backing her. Adam Lerner’s guitar intro into “Margaret” flows effortlessly in to possibly the most appealing song of the album. When the mandolin and cello come about on “Hang The Moon,” the album sees it’s best instrumentation. Seductive piano, accompanies the deep rich tones of the cello and Jennie’s voice flows effortlessly atop of the masterpiece.”
