A 2008 MAC Award nominee for female vocalist, Jenna made her NYC debut in August, 2004, and has since performed shows at The Duplex, Danny's Skylight Room, The Laurie Beechman Theatre, and The Metropolitan Room. Her shows "I Hate Men: Songs For The Scorned," "SMOOCH!," and "13 Men...and Me!" have all received critical acclaim, and her annual "All-Star Birthday Bashes" have been fun-filled evenings during which she has shared the stage with a number of New York's finest performers including Rob Langeder, Miles Phillips, Gretchen Reinhagen, Ben Rauch, Barbara Brussell, Ritt Henn, Matt Sigl, Sue Matsuki, David Ippolito and Hector Coris. In January, 2007, "I Hate Men: Songs for the Scorned" was named one of the 12 best cabaret shows of 2006 by John Hoglund of www.theaterscene.net. Jenna released her debut CD, "13 Men...and Me!" in October, 2007, and it is available for purchase on iTunes or CDBaby.

"Relatively new to the cabaret arena, but rapidly making waves with her diverse talents, Esposito's terrific homage to Rosemary Clooney last year and this latest eclectic foray displays a solid performer with a future. From a show-biz family, she's got her act together enough to deserve the attention she's bound to garner as her cabaret profile builds."

"In her theater-honed clear soprano, switching styles from romantic to sultry to perky to hit-the-back-wall, Jenna held the stage, and an appreciative audience, solo and firmly in her grasp..."
Peter Haas, cabaretscenes.com
"With her charming personality and endearingly cheery stage presence, she exudes joy and all things positive, so one may not be surprised to see that she delivers up-tempo and big numbers with verve and assurance. What one might not expect, though, are the tenderness and sensitivity she brings to ballads - what a lovely revelation!"
