these days of change are full of inspiration

About Me

"Jenn comes from a long line of musicians. She got her start touring with her first bluegrass band at age 8. With influences from folk, to R&B and jazz, she brings a smooth, yet feisty edge to her solo debut. Jenn's sultry presence delivers a vibe of an absolute diva. As a lyricist, she is prolific and familiar, while her bittersweet prose creates a soundtrack of lust, love, and loss which wraps her audience in a thorn-laced velvet ribbon, only to be unwrapped in a frenzy of pure unabashed soulfulness. Tales from the deep blue... though sparsely recorded, will be an instant contemporary classic." PUT YOUR BIO SECTION HERE! Changes may take up to 2 mins to show on your profile
