Singing ancient tales and ageless themes of love, loyalty and longing with a voice that is touching and intimate, Jodee conjures
the very essence of tradition whether of this century or centuries before. 

With a passion for history and folklore since early childhood, Jodee eagerly shares this experience with others.  It was her
father proud of his heritage who suggested she sing Welsh folk songs. "That held for me a key", she says. "Something was
unlocked inside me - suddenly I was able to combine my love for times passed with  family stories and all the cherished mysteries of emotion, legend and tradition."

Jodee has performed at concert venues, festivals, colleges and coffeehouses from Maine to Florida, including Longwood
Gardens (PA), NJ Folk Festival; University of Pittsburgh; W.A. Singleton Center for the Arts (VA); Walt Whitman Center of
the Arts (NJ); Godfrey Daniels (PA); uNi Coffeehouse (MA); Remsen Barn Fest and Gymanfa Ganu (NY); Eisteddfod NY;
Irish Arts Center (NYC); Ames Unity Concerts (IA) and the Irish Heritage and Cultural Center (Milwaukee.)

On MP3.com, the world’s largest online music portal, Jodee secured her place as a top MP3 Celtic artist with thousands of downloads and numerous CD sales.

Jodee with her crafted blend of originality and high regard for tradition, supports her mark in today’s Celtic music scene. Nobles, shepherds, lovers and dreamers, birds as messengers and inspiring heroes, all come to life in Jodee’s music - making an unique and beautiful musical journey.
