Details:
Born and raised in the South Carolina foothills of the Appalachians, Jody Blackwell grew up in a house filled with many musical genres, from her brother''s R&B vinyl 45''s and the family''s Joni Mitchell collection, to the Appalachian hymns that her dad, a religion professor, would play on the piano at night while she was falling asleep. While originally training to be a dancer in high school, Jody picked up guitar to unwind from the pressure of long rehearsals, a pastime which outlived her dancing aspirations and grew into a calling during her college years at Brown, where she majored in Latin by day and “rowdy East Providence bars” by night, playing her original songs with her first college band.
Having put down roots in Boston the week after college, Jody claims both the north and southeast U.S. as home in her songwriting, invoking with equal intimacy the sunlit rapids of a beloved creek in rural South Carolina, or the story of a refugee newly arrived at the Boston agency where she has worked as an English teacher. Recently Jody has traded in her acoustic Guild for an electric Ibanez, begun exploring the Blues in all of its many variations, and traveled further backwards to the spirit of the R&B 45''s she danced to as a kid. Celebrating her fourth album, Jody''s eclectic blend of folk, jazz, and R&B has found an enthusiastic niche among lovers of “roots” music in its original sense: inspired by the American experience in all of its rich variations.
