Jetty Rae (born January 13, 1987) is an unsigned American indie folk singer-songwriter (also part of the group Pen Pals) whose career began in Kona, Hawaii, but now resides in Michigan.

[12] The two initially met on Facebook[13] and were married at the Iberostar Paraiso del Mar on the Riviera Maya outside Cancun, Mexico on December 21, 2008.

[14] Jetty Rae has three children, a son named Beck[15][non-primary source needed] and two daughters, Rowin[16] and Jude.

[21][non-primary source needed] In a 2019 interview, Rae revealed that after 3 years on the road she intends to settle down in a conventional house.

[9] Rae, who considers herself a blue-collar musician,[24] attributes the start of her musical career to the death of her grandfather, which prompted her to write her first original song "Sunshine".

[28] Sarah McLachlan and Terry McBride chose Rae as their featured local talent for Lilith Fair 2010 in Clarkston, Michigan, at the DTE Energy Music Theater.

[35] In 2015, Rae and fellow musician Heath McNease formed the group Pen Pals, subsequently touring and releasing albums under the moniker.

[37] In an AnnArbor.com news article, Rae's musical influences include Lauryn Hill, Brandi Carlile, and Eva Cassidy.

[41] Situationally, Rae cites her living in her renovated Airstream caravan as a major influence[20][42] as well as "everyday hopes and heartbreak".

In retrospect, Rae has noted her musical inexperience prior to working on this album with comments like "I didn't know what EQ was when I first started... in fact, the whole recording process was a bit of a mystery.

"[44] All tracks are written by Brittni StewartRae's second album is an EP and was recorded and produced in Nashville, Tennessee; it was released on August 20, 2010.

[59][non-primary source needed] Rae cites this track as being notable in that it's the result of a single, uninterrupted vocal recording.

[60] The song itself has a running time of 3:18, was produced by Eric Sproull, and was recorded at Bottle Rocket Studios in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

[66] The song has been described as being "moving and meaningful",[67] having "sweetly-delivered tongue-in-cheek rock-centric sassitude",[68] "elements of singer-songwriter sensibilities, indie rock endeavours and pop flavour"[31] but also grittier with descriptions like "grinds through the speakers in husky rattles"[69] and "oozing feminine power and dominance".

[70] The work is a departure from Rae's prior works with reviewers remarking that the song has a Janis Joplin vibe[71] and "impressive vocal abilities with soulful rock melodies"[72] while others have compared it to Cat Power[73] pointing to the "sultry and pop-aesthetic" vocals[74] and a "powerful and melodic voice that's just right for some bluesy folk rock".

[76] The 2nd single and title track from the 2017 album "Can't Curse the Free", released on January 13, 2017, to coincide with Jetty Rae's 30th birthday.

The track has been described as "grounded and homely"[81] and "haunting goosebump inducing soul fused with indie rock and laced with speckles of pop".

It is Jetty's second self-produced children's album, however unlike the first this one was recorded in her vintage Airstream travel trailer while visiting a national park.

[83] All music is composed by Brittni StewartRae's second Christmas album, a five-song EP, was released on November 15, 2019, and has a running time of about 15 minutes.
