Jennifer Yuill DiMarco
I was born and raised in Fargo, North Dakota. I started playing piano as soon as I could reach the pedals and began accompanying myself singing in high school. I played a lot of music growing up with my two older brothers and eventually I fronted my first band with them. I went to college at Utah State University, and loved the mountains so much I moved to Salt Lake City and lived there for about 6 years. I was a big part of the music scene in Salt Lake City in the 80's. I sang in a 40's style big band and also put together a Motown revue with my good buds Lori Lynner and Romona Gibbons called the Sh'Girls, in addition to my own original projects. It was all great fun and a very creative time in my life. I met my husband in 1990 and moved to his hometown in the Philadelphia area in 1991. I recorded my first album in Philly with producer Bob King in 1992. It was very well received. One of the songs, Riding the Waves, was featured in the independent film Postcards for Paradise Park by Curt Crane. My son was also born in 1992 and I juggled writing and playing music with being a mom; having my daughter in 1996. I played in wedding bands in those days and always did solo gigs. I finally recorded the material I had written in those years with the release of Way Down Deep in 2004. The songs on that album are all about my life as a wife and mother, just doing my best. I can't imagine life without music and I always count on music to get me through.
Now I play mostly solos gigs around the neighborhoods. I blend my orignial songs with awesome covers by Adele, Sara Bareilles, Bonnie Raitt, Shawn Colvin, Coldplay, Pearl Jam, John Hiatt, Sheryl Crow, and Marc Cohn.
