For nearly four years now, Jen & the Juice has offered up some of the finest universal hipster swing this side of paradise. As a local favorite on the Asheville music scene, the band is ready to take their sound out on the road for everyone to hear. The Juice sings songs that excite memories from long ago, while brining back softly familiar moments from just minutes passed. Jen & the Juice is a vibrant expression of this home squeezed blend of Appalachian Bohemian Americana. With originality as an embracing factor, strong hints of jazz, funk and folk make their songs a sultry mix for your head, heart and feet. The music is sweetly delicious, truly irresistible and melts in your ear just fine. Rolling melodies gently cruise through a lyrically painted canvas and stories dot the landscape of their tunes. Guess it’s no wonder why Jen & the Juice is the flavor of preference for many music lovers in Western North Carolina and beyond. “We draw a lot of inspiration from folks like Sublime, Beck, Paul Simon, G-Love, and Taj Mahalâ€, says Jenny, lead vocalist and songwriter for the Juice. While Jenny writes much of the lyrical storyline for the songs, she says she really depends on the band to help make their arrangements smart, smooth and funky. Jen & the Juice is currently working on a new album that's set to be released by this summer. “Meet the Hooligans of Bohemianâ€, their recent release, made WNCW's Best 100 Albums for 2006. Look for this top shelf band to appear at a festival, show or venue near you soon.
