ABOUT
Jennifer Eaves
Raised listening to Neil Young and Joan Beaz, trained classically at UCT, and with nearly 20 years
spent performing around South Africa and Europe, Jennifer Eaves is a musical enigma. Morphing

emotive songwriting.

Jennifer launched her full length studio album “Half of You” in May 2019 which tells stories from the
road, the heart, and the home. It will take you on a journey of what it means to be human, to be
present in our own lives, and the world around us.
