With a voice that feels cinematic and timeless, Jenna Nicholls invites listeners on a journey through the golden age of American songcraft. Her music drifts effortlessly from 1930s Parisian cafés to New Orleans juke joints, from Tennessee hills to the wide-open skies of the American West.
Originally from Irwin, Pennsylvania, Jenna found her creative footing in the vibrant music scene of Manhattan’s Lower East Side, where she forged lasting connections with fellow artists and musicians. Over the course of three self-produced albums — Curled Up Toes in Red Mary Janes, The Blooming Hour, and Radio Parade — she established herself as a songwriter with a vintage soul and a keen modern wit.
Her newest release, The Commuter, produced by the legendary Larry Campbell, showcases Jenna’s lyrical grace and melodic strength at their peak. The album is a love letter to the art of travel and transformation — a reflection of the great vintage recordings she cherishes, wrapped in lush arrangements and heartfelt performances.
Jenna’s live performances are equally enchanting, filled with wit, warmth, and instrumental charm. Whether on ukulele, guitar, piano, or even with a playful mouth-trumpet solo, she connects deeply with her audience. She truly creates an atmosphere that holds nostalgia, but is extremely alive in the present moment.
Her songs, like “You, Me and the Moon,” “Small Talk,” and “Holy Moses,” sparkle with humor, humanity, and heart. Each tune is a story of longing, love, and the little moments that make life sing.
Join us for an evening of storytelling, soul, and song with the extraordinary Jenna Nicholls.
