Jacanda is the new band from singer-songwriter Chris Pritchett (Jane Taylor, Lara England, Minerva), delivering richly layered and touching acoustic songs that blend folk, pop and even progressive influences.  With lush piano, djembe and saxophone giving Chris' guitar-led songs a deeper and more vibrant texture, the band's material ranges from intimate laments and sweeping pop to more aggressive protest music.  

Formed in early 2006 from the ashes of Bristol band, Minerva, Jacanda have just released their first album. A packed launch night in mid-September saw 100 copies sold, with orders flowing in.  

With songs that touch on love, violence and everything in between, Jacanda is the new name in acoustic music that really means something.

Influences 

Turin Brakes, Peter Gabriel, Cat Stevens, James Taylor, Nizlopi
