Intimate and poetic lyrics woven between mesmerizing finger picked rhythms are Jen's specialty. She started playing guitar in her early teens with visions of being a heavy metal star, but once being introduced to Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel and the Indigo Girls, she instead found herself drawn to sweet vocal harmonies and acoustic rhythms. With a warm and inviting voice, intricate guitar patterns and a wide repertoire that includes original songs and even a few 80s hits, it is a performer to not be missed.
