Just as unhurried as it is precious and reflective. The atmosphere is serene; youâll pick every word that is uttered and find a world that normally goes at a million miles an hour slow to a relaxing canter.

Details:
Born and raised in a rural area outside of Pittsburgh, PA, Jenna was exposed to music at an early age in the community church. It was during that time that she learned to play the piano and the guitar. During her early twenties, Jenna began singing jazz with Blue Note artist Jimmy Ponder. She soon developed her own unique singing/playing style incorporating jazz and folk music. Her sweet vocal talents are reminiscent of Norah Jones and Emmy Lou Harris, and have allowed her to play with such artists as the late Chris Whitley, Nouvelle Vague,The Hothouse Flowers and East Mountain South. She has been a constant at many top venues, including the Living Room, Rockwood Music Hall and the World Cafe. www.myspace.com/jennanicholls


Review for "Just How Much" from MP3 Hugger

Jenna Nicholls has the sort of voice that entrances within a couple of seconds of coming into contact with it. What makes it even more special is the fact the songs she writes are so memorable. Nicholls is part of a new folk movement based in Greenwich Village called the Fairplay Collective (there are a smattering of Irish troubadours in there). Her voice is distinctive but from time to time you may hear traces of Norah Jones, Stina Nordenstam and most especially that singer from the Motifs who I donât know the name of. âJust How Muchâ is as unhurried as it is precious with Nicholls in reflective mood. The atmosphere is serene; youâll pick every word that is uttered and find a world that normally goes at a million miles an hour slow to a relaxing canter. Powerful stuff, more of which can be found on Jennaâs upcoming album âCurled Up Toes in Red Mary Janesâ. KD
