Ancient Sea Warrior sets sail with her debut EP

”You know, there are only a small percentage of albums that offer the whole package. I believe Jenna Murphy’s “Ancient Sea Warrior” is one of those albums.” Shashona McCall, Indie Showcase 2011.

Jenna Murphy’s soulful combination of indie-folk melodies and pop hooks, combined with emotive lyrics and instrumental prowess are set to forge a new sound in the acoustic scene. Originally from Ireland, her unique sound heralds a beautiful Celtic essence that sets her apart from her peers.

Ancient Sea Warrior is Jenna’s debut EP, recorded and produced in partnership with Mark Stanley of Red Room Records in Melbourne. The result is an outstanding fusion of musical influences, from artists such as countrymen Glen Hansard (Once, Swell Season) and Gemma Hayes and a diverse range of others including Beirut, Fleet Foxes, Laura Marling, Bon Iver and Radiohead.

“Jenna has a beautiful voice that captures listeners” Mike McCready’s Music Xray: 21st Century A&R, Nashville Music Guide”

 Jenna is a popular stablemate of Sydney’s live music scene and a respected solo artist. Early this year, Jenna was invited to support internationally acclaimed recording artist Mundy (“To You I Bestow from Romeo & Juliet”) on the Australian leg of his world tour.

“Jenna opened for me in Sydney. She had great command of the room; she has a great voice and energy. The music is in her soul for sure and she knows how to write!” Mundy
