Hometown: Sisters, Oregon
Song: “Baby Names”
Album: Good Luck Road
Release Date: July 1, 2022

In Their Words: “‘Baby Names’ is a portrait of a lost 25-year-old in search of motherhood, a cat, or at least a motorcycle — ‘something to love.’ I got the idea for the song when I learned that some of my friends have had running lists of baby names from when they were in elementary school. Shortly after learning this fact, a roommate and dear friend of mine called a house meeting about the prospect of adopting a kitten. Unfortunately, due to allergies, the verdict was no. She was crestfallen, and ended the house meeting saying, ‘I just want something to love.'” — Jenner Fox

WATCH: Jenner Fox, “Buffalo”

Posted on by Editor

Artist: Jenner Fox
Hometown: Sisters, Oregon
Song: “Buffalo”
Album: Planet I’m From
Release Date: September 18, 2021

In Their Words: “‘Buffalo’ is the story of Rio. He and I worked together for years as river guides in Patagonia, Chile. Rio is a seasonal worker earning just enough each summer to come back and work another season, with each passing year his body showing more wear and tear. ‘Buffalo’ voices Rio’s dream to someday retire to a buffalo ranch at the foot of the ocean. It’s a song about growing old with dignity. The animated music video is a collaboration with acclaimed filmmaker Benjamin Boult and is a take on what creativity was able to look like during the pandemic. We asked several visual artists to each draw a scene on digital art programs. Their art is transformed into a series of time-lapse images — from sketches to full color — all drawn as the artists listened to the words and music of ‘Buffalo.'” — Jenner Fox
