Jeanes

With the constant barrage of noise from 'man made' things, fighting for our attention every waking second, many of us forget the soft call of natures voice.
'Jeanes' tells stories of sleeping fields, breathing trees & drunken bees.

Russell Jeanes is a songwriter with a love for forest, leaf and hedgerow.
Over many years Russ squirrelled away a collection of poems, melodies, bird song and drawings. Morning's first breath in the trees, swans & geese in morning mists, chance meetings with fox, deer and weasel, 'the secret life of nature'.
Working from home in a cottage in the Yorkshire woods, Russ records demos and uploads them to the sound cloud.
The songs are re-recorded in homes, gardens & summer fields across Europe & America by an enchanting collective of female DIY artists, each lovingly chosen for their beautifully unique voices.
Jeanes sound has been kindly been likened to: Vashti Bunyan, Linda Perhacs, Joanna Newsom, Nick Drake.
