| Jen and the Gents is a pop/rock combo comprising Jennifer Ewan on vocals and guitar, Martin Beer on bass and Pockets (Stuart Crout) on vocals and drums (or whatever else he can find to knock out a rhythm on). The band is based in Edinburgh and is a fusion of musicians who have been around the Edinburgh scene for a little while, playing solo and/or with other bands. They first got together playing as part of the alternative and highly innovative Tuberians led by Kim Tebble. While they still play with The Tuberians, this new combo is an avenue for Jen's and Pockets' more mainstream original material. |
Their
music is hard to pigeonhole, having been described as "pop/rock with
folk, jazz, blues and other influences" but it is always memorable.
Jen's powerful and highly distinctive vocals are complemented by
Pockets' beautifully crafted harmonies and Martin's accomplished bass
riffs and generally the tempo is upbeat, with driving rhythms from
guitar, drums and bass.
You can hear them play at various venues around Edinburgh. The best
place to find out about their latest gigs and the most up to date news
from the Band is at Jen's MySpace.
Meanwhile, this site hopes one day soon to be bigger and better but,
