Singer-songwriter Jennifer Berezan is an artist who called Calgary home for a period of time and Alberta was central to her life during her formative years. (Remembering the Kensington Delicafe!) While she eventually settled in Berkley California, which has been her home for a few decades, this gifted artist returns to Calgary for a concert at Southwood United Church on Friday May 3.
Berezan returns to Calgary with a deep songbook that now covers ten album releases that started with her 1988 release Eye of the Storm. Other titles include Returning (2002) that was a cross-cultural work incorporating chants and recorded in a 6000 year old temple, her 2005 offering End of Desire that included guest performances from Bruce Cockburn and Emily Sailers of the Indigo Girls, and her most recent release Belonging that was released in late 2022. Belonging has received critical acclaim and great press including a feature story in a European edition of Rolling Stone magazine.
For this concert Berezan will be in the company of Chris Webster. Webster has opened for kd lang, The Band, Asleep at the Wheel and is featured on countless albums. She’s also been a Berezan’s musical partner for 25 years.
