Trailhead Entertainment represents - Jordyn Pepper, Solo Musician She is the perfect blend of organic, deep-mountain roots, folk (with a little splash of soft blues), rock and country. Put it all together and you have the makings of an Americana artist. Her name is Jordyn Pepper, and she has something to sing about. Recently signed to Howlin' Dog Records Jordyn recently released her freshman album "Mountain Rain. She released two singles from the Album, which included "Back to My Roots" and "1862." She has an official music video on Vevo and YouTube for "1862" which has been nominated for video of the year for the JMA Awards. This Nashville based, but Colorado raised singer/songwriter is described by many as a breath of fresh air, with crystal-clear vocals and a uniqueness that only says, "That's Jordyn Pepper." "We here at Howlin' Dog hear shades of Loretta Lynn, Natalie Maines, Stevie Nicks and other in the lineage of great female singers, but most of all we hear Jordyn Pepper, weaving all of these threads into a seamless expression of a young women venturing out into the world," Don Richmond, engineer/producer at Howlin' Dog, said. Originally from Monte Vista, Colorado, Jordyn says growing up in a small town on a potato and barley farm with not much music influence was hard for a girl trying to find her voice. "I would sing as much as I could, whether it would be in church, driving the tractors in the fields or even in my room with a hairbrush," she said. "I would sing all the time! My mom would always say, 'I hear a diamond in the rough,' when I was singing." When Jordyn turned sixteen her life was turned upside down. The family lost their farm and the only home Jordyn ever new. Jordyn's family sold almost everything they owned and started living in an RV traveling the country. Jordyn said, "We didn't have much money, but we made it work. It turned out to be an experience of a lifetime for this small town girl from Colorado. Many of the songs on my album come from experiences on the road during this time in my life." In her early years, Jordyn was very influenced by country music, mainly because that was the only radio station in her small town. Her favorite group back then were the Dixie Chicks; which you can hear a little weave of their influence in some of the music she writes today. Since moving to Nashville (an just plain growing up), she became more influenced by other groups and singer/songwriters such as Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks, Patty Griffin, John Butler Trio, and Brandi Carlile. You can hear a little of each of these artist - with her own twist on them - in her songs. One of the highlights of Jordyn's career was winning two years back to back the 2016 and 2017 Josie Music Awards for "Individual Vocalist of the Year" for Folk/Americana/Bluegrass. 2018 brought in a new title as "Entertainer of The Year" for Folk/Americana at the JMA's.
