Jenny Colquitt is a rising star in the Americana scene, with a strong and expressive voice, impactful lyrics and winning melodies1. She was named as one of RnR Magazine’s ‘Ones to Watch’ in 2022 and won the FATEA ‘Female Artist of the Year’ award in 2021/20223. She performed on the Den stage at the Cambridge Folk Festival 2023, showcasing her talent and charm to a captivated audience.
One of the highlights of her set was the song Little Blue Boy, a lullaby-inspired tune that tells the story of a boy who falls asleep under a haystack while his animals wander off. The song has a gentle and soothing melody, with acoustic guitar and harmonica accompaniment. Colquitt’s vocals are sweet and tender, conveying the affection and concern for the sleeping boy. The song also has a touch of humour, as the animals try to wake him up but fail. The song is based on the traditional nursery rhyme Little Boy Blue, but Colquitt adds her own twist and flair to it.
