About Me



Reviews for Gods & Nations

A Paste Recommends Indie Album April 2008.
Paste Magazine

"The arrival of a major new talent? From the sound of the trenchant folk/blues on Gods & Nations,..Leonhardt is a gale force to be reckoned with."
Pop Culture Press

"A stirring songwriter, Jennifer plays blues with vivid modern lyrics and harmonies."
Austin American-Satesman

"Gods & Nations evokes folk and blues in ways that sound contemporary, relevant and, most importantly, compelling."
Blogcritics Magazine

"Jennifer rocks out like only a person with the talent and vocal soul of Janis Joplin could deliver. She's a music phenomenon who's star is rising -very much one of a kind."
KPAS-TV, Los Angeles
