Jen Korte & the Loss

About Me

" WESTWORDS BEST SINGER-SONGWRITER" NOMINEE Denver 2008 and 2009"Music this arresting and dark almost demands nighttime and sleaze . . " - Kyle Smith, Denver Westword ************************************************************ ***** With a stunningly agile voice, Jen Korte leads The Loss to the Meadowlark. Dexterously working her way up and down the scale it is definitely possible to get lost in her powerful lyrics and delivery. The band - equally talented - adds melody and a richness that compliments Korte's lush sound. ************************************************************ ***** "Korte sings with a nearly unparalleled intensity so robust and honest that it is almost frightening. Her voice fluctuates skillfully from a songful whistle to a roaring, sonorous call..."Jonathan Bitz, Denversytax.com ************************************************************ ***** "...and a guitar attached. If you're sick of watching musicians who "sort of" have natural talent, .. come see Jen. She is doing what she was born to do." Sorry a little cliche, but true.-DenverMetromix.com ************************************************************ ****** "that old high school friend that springs up out of nowhere, Korte's performance blindsides the audience with her gregariousness and boundless energy. Armed with nothing more than a giant red guitar and a voice that could stop a missile, she assailed the audience with an full on audio assault." Whitney Van Cleave, DU Clarion ************************************************************ ******* "Unassuming to raw and tenebrous, and is quickly setting her apart. "Sarah Benehuk, Denver Westword ************************************************************ ******
