In the beginning of this video, Jaren makes mention of a film, but I had not started shooting this video soon enough to include her entire explanation, which is this: In 2016, Jaren had landed a principle role in an Irish/Canadian feature film, "Song Of Granite," a biopic about the life of legendary Irish Sean-nós singer Joe Heaney. Song Of Granite has been chosen as Ireland's 2017 submission for the Oscars foreign language category!
Jaren has been a worldwide chart-topping Trance and Folk recording artist, and we were lucky to have her spontaneously join us for this jam. Originally from Wyoming, she now lives in Montreal. She was here in Wyoming to join family in celebrating the Total Solar Eclipse at Sunrise, Wyoming (a ghost town/archeological wonder which is owned by her father, John Voight—seated to her left, with a guitar). John Voight had once owned the Stampede, and they were there that night to enjoy dinner and music with family members (and me).
Come join us at the Stampede Acoustic Jam 6 pm every Thursday night at Stampede Saloon & Eatery in Chugwater, Wyoming (http://bit.ly/2phb1S5). ChugJam!!
