Getting an early start as a singer/songwriter, Jenny’s musical roots were laid down during the heyday of
the San Francisco music revolution. “ I loved Muddy Waters, Dock Boggs and Bob Dylan. To me, it’s all great music and I’ve just tried to write songs as I hear them without feeling like I had to limit myself to one style.”
Derived from delta blues and country sources, her songs show a deep love of these early masters while keeping an ear open to contemporary roots-rock pioneers like Taj Mahal and Ry Cooder. Jenny schooled herself on finger style guitar, claw-hammer banjo, harmonica, piano and Dobro. Driven by her songwriting, powerful vocals and multi-instrumental talents, Jenny has created her trademark mix of country, blues, folk and rock.
A native of San Francisco, Jenny comes from a musical family. Her grandmother, Louise Lincoln-Kerr was principal violist with the Cleveland Symphony and the first woman soloist there; she composed chamber music and symphonic works.
Widely traveled, Jenny soaked up a world of music during her journeys in Europe including a long residence in Paris and even a stint at graduate school in Oxford, not to mention treks to Indonesia, Mexico, the Middle East and more. Returning to
the U.S., her world-view led her to reaffirm her love of American music forms and see this as all part of a rich global heritage.
