History
Voted amongst the Top Ten Bands of Santa Barbara by the Independent last year, Jamie Green is an award-winning independent recording artist, having won L.A. Music Awards for her first two albums and numerous honors from the John Lennon and Unisong International song contests. Her lyrics have been described by Music Connection Magazine as “riveting and incisive,” with a soulful voice that “sells everything she sings.” She’s been compared to such artists as Jonatha Brooke, Paula Cole, Alanis Morissette and Sheryl Crow, but Jamie forges her own brand of contemporary pop that is funky, folky, thoughtful, moody, and soulful.
You may have heard her anti-war anthem, “What’s Happening Here?” on Pacifica Radio’s progressive news show, “Democracy Now.” For the past four years, Jamie has received the ASCAPLU$ award, which recognizes her as an active and promising young songwriter. Her songs have appeared in various network and cable TV Movies, on MTV, and in several Billboard Top Ten Videos for Children, and have been heard on acoustic and indie format radio stations all over the world. Jamie is near completion on her third album, to be released later this year.
