Album Notes

Jerin Falkner began writing music at the age of 13, and now, eight years later, she is integrating herself into the Tacoma music scene one gig at a time. Her unmistakable voice and genuine lyrics are her most noticeable assets but this 21 year old pop-folk artist can also play the guitar. Her melodies combined with her words make the perfect combination of music and emotion. She is truly one of the Northwest's premier female singer/songwriters.

Growing up a Washington native, Jerin is the third of four children and has been singing since almost before she could talk. Though she had been writing music for a couple years, it wasn't until college that she began playing small coffee shop shows. Jerin now performs monthly at Tacoma's own Shakabrah Java, where she doubles as a sound technician when she is not on stage. Unable to resist the lure of Seattle's music scene, Jerin was selected to participate in the regionally known Northwest Folklife 2004 and buskers at Pike Place Market for recreation on the weekends. She plans on pursuing more musical endeavors in Seattle after she graduates from the University of Puget Sound in May of 2005.

September 2004 will mark the release of Alive, Jerin's new LP that features eight tracks that reflect her vocal talents and style. Ranging from acoustic recordings to full band sets, Alive presents Jerin's music as it is meant to be heard; clear, sweet, and simple.
