JENTRI COLELLO

About Me

"Here’s why Jentri Colello stirred up all that talk among local writers, record-store clerks, and show-regulars this year... Colello and band actually know how to create a mood—with grace and starkness"

THE ONION--A.V. CLUB

"One of the best things brewing in Wisconsin local music is Jentri Colello. If you’ve yet to see her at one of the venues about town or hear her gorgeous Bird of Prey EP, you’re missing out. I trust her success to continue well beyond the boundaries of the state line"

--MUZZLE OF BEES

"Colello's crew builds the dramatic arc of each of her moody folk-rock tunes with startling control...when she's on, Jentri Colello takes over a room — completely."

-- THE ISTHMUS

"They play some of the best music I've ever heard."

--MISS THE SIGNPOST

"The band is terrific...Jentri's voice, sultry and smoky, it is absolutely hypnotic"
