CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED SINGER/SONGWRITER
JEN WOODHOUSE SHOWS THERE IS NO SOPHOMORE SLUMP WITH
THE RELEASE OF NEW ALBUM
THE SHAPING & SHIFTING OF OBJECTS & SOUND

EXTENSIVE 2009 FALL TOUR SET IN PLACE AND 3-MONTH TOUR OF
JAPAN SCHEDULED FOR 2010

(NASHVILLE, TN) AUGUST 20, 2009 --Picking up where she left off with her critically acclaimed 2005 debut, This Honest Age, singer/songwriter Jen Woodhouse doesn’t skip a beat with her sophomore follow-up The Shaping & Shifting of Objects & Sound, which is available now through iTunes and CD Baby. Quickly garnering tremendous word-of-mouth support, Woodhouse continues to showcase her incredible musical range and masterful songwriting with this new album.

Produced by David Browning (Katy Perry, Amy Grant, Ce Ce Winans) and Dan Strain (Vertical Horizon) The Shaping & Shifting of Objects & Sound is a collection of cleverly spun tales of realism that relate to the many sides of the persona. The album has many highlights, including the hooky, energetic pop gem, "Rearview," the moody, ethereal piano-driven, "Gravity," and the territorial, rollicking, tongue-in-cheek "Vicious.” "Impossible", one of the album’s standout tracks, combines tripped-out guitars with a quirky Imogen Heap-tinged keyboard groove. Live instruments (piano, drums and bass) mingle with electronic elements while Woodhouse's voice is powerful yet heart-wrenchingly sincere.

Woodhouse continues to tour extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and has most recently returned from a 7-month tour in Asia. She has announced an extensive U.S. tour throughout the Fall of 2009 which will hit such cities as New York, NY; Cambridge, MA; Boston, MA; Pittsburgh, PA; Cleveland, OH; and Chicago, IL to name a few. Woodhouse also confirmed a 3-month tour in Japan from April-June 2010. For a complete list of cities and tour dates, please visit www.jenwoodhouse.com.

In addition to her rigorous touring schedule, Woodhouse was invited to perform at several high profile music festivals, including Austin's biggest music event, South by Southwest, Toronto's Indie Week Festival and Atlanta's Atlantis Music Conference. She spearheaded The Green Light Tour, a month-long international tour spanning 22 cities in the US & Canada, promoting her new album and raising awareness about global warming. Teaming up with various environmental organizations such as the Sierra Club and Arbor Day Foundation, Woodhouse and two fellow singer/songwriters planted a tree in every city they stopped in, as well as raffled off 'enviro-prizes' to audience members.
