“With naturally gifted vocal command, Manville explores the intricacies of love, life, and the finer things with a sharp eye on details. Her lyrics are heartfelt and genuine and delivered with just the right amount of instinct and emotion.”
– Douglas Sloan, Metronome Magazine

“Kirsten Manville is a Boston-based performing songwriter who engages audiences with melodic and lyric-focused Americana music, with a touch of blues.
Music, and specifically singing and songwriting, have always been the primary way I have tried to make sense of the world and the ups and downs of life,” she says. “And hopefully, listeners can relate to the emotions or stories depicted in my songs, and take comfort in knowing someone else is feeling the same way or has the same questions or wants the same things. The is what music has always done for me. Plus, singing is really fun, and it just makes me feel good.”

Christine Lavin, singer-songwriter and comedienne extraordinaire, comments about Jackie’s playing ~
“I never thought I’d find a violinist on a level with Robin Batteau — but Jackie Damsky — girl, you got it goin’ on. Your playing is soulful and sensitive — when you came onstage you brought a special ‘lightness’ that everyone felt. What a night — thank you so much — can’t wait to work with you again!”

Originally trained as a classical violinist, Jackie has developed a unique improvisational style over a range of genres including jazz, folk, blues, acoustic rock, and popular music. From halls and clubs to the recording studio, Jackie’s warm and sweet, passionate and evocative violin playing leaves listeners profoundly affected and deeply moved. Jackie weaves a harmonic tapestry with her fellow musicians, adding depth, color, richness… and a little magic.
