Jen Kearney
4-15-2017 (Ballroom)
Jen Kearney has spent a lot of time experimenting and seasoning her particular musical style and flavor and it clearly comes to fruition with Her latest album; "Age of Blame" - an amalgam of that musical style ranging from soul, R&B and funk- to rock, latin and jazz, while maintaining a singer/songwriter’s attention to lyrics. Jen stirs the eight cuts of the album through boiling points and gentle simmers that concentrate that flavor down to hit all points salty, sour, sweet and bitter. Lyrically, Age of Blame offers deeply personal and hopeful perspective on a myriad of subjects—the main theme being the importance of maintaining balance and love in an ever-evolving world where blame, fear, self-sabotage and deflection are all too easy to succumb to as human contact has receded.
Steve Morse from Rolling Stone says this; “Jen Kearney is a gifted singer who can belt out a song with the best of them. A refreshing new spin on funk music, but also modernizing it with thoughtfully conceived lyrics that surround the fun with a lot of stately maturity. Her new album further includes top-notch balladry and a touch of Latin excitement.
