Sweet Song

This is my most recent song and I finally got round to making a recording of it. It is my attempt at a modern psalm of lament. It is a song that means a huge amount to me personally.

Old Days

A song in the traditional folk style. A song about a man who is about to embark on journey across the seas to find the one he loves. If you want to know about the title come to a gig and ask me :)

Run Away

Living in Fish Hoek I witnessed the power of the Cape Town fires first hand. This Photo stood out to me and inspired the song 'David and Goliath'. I dedicate this song to the all firemen who risked their lives to protect us. Thank You!  

David And Goliath

Cover of Waterbound, Jennifer Eaves on guitar and vocals, James Hall on violin and vocals, Neilen Prinsloo on banjo and vocals. Recorded on a cellphone at one of our most recent practices but completely worth sharing. 

Waterbound (cover of Dirk Powell song)

This is an unreleased track, that we decided not to use on the Jenny & The Jameses album, as the song only really seems to live live for me. Featuring James Hall on the violin

An original Jennifer Eaves song - performed by Jenny & The Jameses recorded live at Paris Studios. 

Fallen Tree

Jennifer Eaves is a folk musician hailing from the sleepy seaside hamlet of Fish Hoek in Cape Town. She has a degree in music from UCT with majors in voice and piano. She has been gigging in and around Cape Town since the age of 16 and has quietly built a solid reputation for crafting meaningful folk songs with strong messages; she is a skilled guitarist and pianist with a soaring vocal range. 
Local folk music legend Bill Knight refers to Jennifer as a “true troubadour”, while she has frequently been compared to a young Joni Mitchell, and Irish force of nature Glen Hansard. 

Jennifer is currently marketing her latest EP Land of Lonely, which has a strong Celtic folk flavour. She has songwriting credits for a number of film projects both locally and internationally. Jennifer believes that a song should take you on a journey and the final destination is yours to imagine.
