A woman at a recent concert by singer-songwriter Jennifer Daniels approached her after the show to ask the young artist if she was a Christian.
At one time, the answer would have been clear - early on, Daniels was easily classified as a Christian artist.The older she get, however, the more the things that make up who she is as an individual - a woman, a musician, a Christian - begin to meld together.
"She wanted to know because she said she heard a lot of themes of loving people and helping people and redemption," Daniels told The Daily Times this week.

If anything, Daniels hopes her music provides comfort and solace.She's a nurturing spirit, and while her slant on the folk genre is best described as having a Southern gothic touch, it's also filled with underlying messages of hope and love.Creative Loafing, Atlanta's regional music magazine, has praised her repeatedly, and - in addition to other critics - the magazine Paste describes her musical style as "a sound that wanders from alt-country to haunting folk rock, delivering her poetry with an urgency to match its message."
Her 2002 release, "Dive and Fly," was hailed by critics and deejays alike and has been added to the playlists of more than 200 radio stations.Her latest album, "Summer Filled Skies," is a mixture of new songs and old ones that date back to her very first release, "Fists of Flood."
"The nighttime sky was really what I was thinking about at the time," she said.
