Track Premiere: Jenner Fox “Heart Tattoo”

The thing with tattoos is that they can last longer than the love they might be commemorating.  And that’s the springboard for ‘Heart Tattoo‘, the first single from Jenner Fox’s upcoming album ‘Anything‘  which will be out on May 9th.  The song reflects a real conversation that occurred in a real tattoo parlour – a request that saw that a tattoo of a heart is a remnant of a love gone wrong so the idea is to make it anything else, a bell, a whale, just anything that no longer marks out an intense love.

Jenner Fox is a five piece band which features a cast of pacific northwest musicians: Jenner Fox, the frontman, lead singer and songwriter, an experienced folk troubadour, leads the band and holds down the rhythm acoustic guitar; Jeremy Elliott shreds lead guitar (as he did on a duo album he and Jenner released last year entitled “The Moon That Moves The Sea”); Aaron Moore fills out the low end on bass and fills out the high end on the vocals; Benji Nagel tickles the dobro and sings; and multi-instrumentalist Aaron Guest rounds out the group on piano, organ, and vocals.  The group started with a cargo bicycle tour through California in 2021 and this song has long been an audience favourite – the band captured the intimacy of their performances by recording the album ‘Anything‘ live to tape without headphones or metronomes.

Sure, I could climb high in a tree, or go to Skye on my holiday. I could be happy. All I really want is the excitement of first hearing The Byrds, the amazement of decades of Dylan's music, or the thrill of seeing a band like The Long Ryders live. That's not much to ask, is it?
