Jenn Butterworth

I’m delighted to announce that I’ll be opening for Fairport Convention on their Spring Tour in 2026, where I’ll be performing some solo versions of songs from Her By Design.

Absolutely can’t wait!

My CD bag isn’t my usual aesthetic… at least it won’t be in danger of being forgotten!

On the road with Bella Hardy and Danny Tryani this weekend:

Fri 6th Theatre Severn #Shrewsbury
Sat 7th The Met #Bury
Sun 8th The Fleece Inn, Bretforton #Evesham

#livemusic #tour #tradmusic

Off to London! Playing The Water Rats with Bella Hardy tonight, then we’re at Ropetackle Arts Centre on Friday.

Alt folk, trad songs & new. Thoughtful storytelling placing women at the centre, Jenn’s music is uplifting - the last song Her Bright Smile Haunts Me Still infuses a feeling of wellbeing which lasts long after the record has stopped spinning ☺️

Stunning artwork too!

Wow another 5* review! Thank you Simon Jones at Spiral Earth for your lovely words.

‘Read it here… “Her By Design,” is an essential album. Five stars, no mistake.’

Her By Design has been out for 2 weeks today! Thanks for all the love & support you’ve given it. It’s been so nice to hear what your favourite tracks are. I still can’t believe it made into the UK Top 40 download chart. ❤️

“The storytelling of folk music is drawn from tradition but by putting the woman’s perspective first Jenn Butterworth demonstrates its contemporary eloquence.”

Thanks for the review AmericanaUK!

Thanks Maddie! ❤️

I’m not saying you should definitely use this opportunity to buy Jenn’s new album… But… You should really seriously consider using this opportunity to buy Jenn’s new album. It’s really good!

March is #endometriosis awareness month. Endometriosis is a lifelong #invisibleillness that “is estimated to affect about 10% of women of reproductive age, and an unknown number of gender-diverse people” according to a 2023 research study.
