Hi everybody..

I have been home for a little while. I’m not sure how long. but i guess long enough to have cleaned and baked a few delicious things and feel like a normal person.
Just so you know, there is a video for Paper Airplane coming out this monday. It’s a song from Buck 65′s new album “20 odd years” and i was lucky to be a part of a few songs in this project in the writing and singing department.
i know honeymoon punch has only been out since January 11th but i am already starting to get a writing/recording fever where i want to get away from my mailbox and internet and instead curl up with a box? of wine (to share of course!) in a cabin somewhere locked away. spring is the best time for singing. and my favorite time to record.
hope everyone is well.
xo
goodnighty-night for now.

OK – over beers and some Mexican fish taco’s, Jenn demanded we set up some shows for her upon her return home. “But Jenn,” we said, “aren’t you tired?” To which she replied that as much as she loves Austin, she’ll be singing her heartiest songs in Nova Scotia. Please check the dates section to see if she’s coming to a venue near you.

If all that other traveling around doesn’t make her a world class jetsetter, Jenn will unpack, repack and unpack her bags when she touches down in Austin, TX March 18 to kick off SXSW in style. Chosen out of thousands of applicants, Jenn will breeze in to warm the hearts of those tough Texans, who, uh, will be warmed also by her unmistakable voice (and the Austin heat). Catch her at the Six Shooter showcase Thursday night or the Six Shooter Hootenanny Friday afternoon – and make sure you refill her tequila for her. As the saying goes, everything’s bigger in Texas…including Jenn’s dress collection.
