Jen & Jim is a duo that plays unique arrangements of well known songs and original music for any occasion. They have released three singles recorded at Amberly Studios with Guyy Lilleyman and mastered by Dax Liniere at Puzzle Factory Sound Studios. Jenny Sawer's powerful voice and rhythm guitar are  complemented by James Halligan's poignant harmonies and lead guitar and bass work. Jenny graduated from The School of Music, ANU with a BMus (1st class Hons) in 2004. She is a Canberra-based performer and vocal coach, teaching privately and at Girls Grammar Senior School. Jenny also conducts local choirs and composes and arranges music. She has recorded two albums of original music, ‘Wild and Free’ and ‘Outrageous’ with original blues and roots band Freyja's Rain. James was an unreconstructed rocker with many years experience playing live in various touring bands. He holds a BA from the University of Newcastle, has taught music in both the NSW and ACT TAFE systems and is a multi-instrumentalist. James Halligan sadly died from brain cancer on December 16 2022 and is greatly missed.
