Backstage shenanigans! See us in SEATTLE tomorrow at 7pm!!

sometimes on tour you change into your very distinctly-pajamas pajamas for load out, cuz it’s late & you want out of those stage clothes (and then you document it cuz good lighting backstage.)

First time back on stage after 10months/having a baby & it felt lovely, even with a little residual brain fog, and I only cried once! Thank you Bend & @towertheatrebend

Come see us this weekend in Portland (@albertaabbeypdx ) & Seattle (@rabbitboxtheatre )

JFK bathroom lighting isn’t nearly as good as LGA, but in any case I’m SO HAPPY & RELIEVED to be getting on a flight, w/ all my bags (yesterday I failed), to finally be touring again after 9.5 months! Yes I already miss my adorable baby to a traumatizing degree so please make it worth it and GET THOSE TICKETS!!! (Plus save $) See you soon: SEATTLE, BEND, PORTLAND, MONMOUTH!!! Tix links: click my website in my bio.

And yes I’m old school and prefer my wired earbuds.

Also, there’s one spot left for the songwriting/performance masterclass Mer & I are teaching in Portland!

Hello again. It’s been a couple months.
I had a baby. All is well.

I’ve been consumed by this baby & my other baby, the musical I’ve been writing: @rosettaproject_musical (aka WAKEMAN) and there’s been no energy left for social media or much communication of any kind really - in fact those things (soc. media/communication) take such an inordinate amount of energy/brain power/time I should probably see a therapist about it. …But I wanted to get this post out because people have started to express worry about my well being and the baby’s.

We’re fine, great in fact!

Having a kid so late in life means that most everyone I know that’s going to has already gone through the experience and really wants to prepare you for how exhausted you’ll be. Everyone was right, we’re exhausted, but I expected to be, so no surprise there.

I’ve never been a baby person and I never knew if I wanted kids or not - so it’s been wild to find myself so enamored with this creature. That’s a bit surprising. I find this baby so exceedingly cute, a degree to which I usually reserve exclusively for puppies.

I was also surprised by how much I hated the hospital. We had a couple lovely nurses, but overall those first 5 days were a nightmare, and what a sad way to think back on that experience. It’s a big bummer. If I had to do it over I’d hire a doula, even though I had a planned c section, so that we could have someone to advocate for us. Beware the “baby friendly” certified hospital, our experience was “mommy/daddy hostile”. (Our nurses for sure had a tough time navigating policies they didn’t agree with).

If anyone is curious - this is an IVF baby. I’m always curious, so…

I have so many more thoughts, that might border on overshare (endometriosis!), but I think this is all I can muster today.

Thank you to everyone who has sent words of love and support and gifts for the bebé (as Moira would say).

🤍

Summer throwback! I’m soooo fortunate to have some amazing friends like @lisamannfineart. Lisa designed our gorgeoussss @sirensongs_music SEASONS bandanas (you can check them out via sirensongsmusic.com) and led a phenomenal art retreat (in GREECE) that prompted the painting kick I’ve been on this year… (which I might share with you someday… maybe 😅) Thank you Lisa 🫶

Meaningful and EASY ways you can support me (an independent artist) if you like, with a little intention:
Feed the algorithm when I pop up on your screen! Like, comment, share, save… this really helps my work go further!! Follow me where you stream music, like/save my songs, add them to your playlists… the algorithms rule there too 😵‍💫
Finally, consider joining my Patreon for as little as $1/mo. This is my lifeline, THE reason I can continue to create, period.
Link in my bio for all the things… or better yet, google me- you know, for the algo 🤪

The quick backstage rehearsal w/ @joeyharkum - we wrote this maybe 16 yrs ago? LOVE still getting to sing it w/ you after all these years. Happy birthday rockstar. ⭐️ (If you don’t know Joey already, go become a fan.) #stillgotit #stonecold #joeyharkum

She’s a boxer with a pretty face
She’s barbed wire wrapped in lace
She’s the reason that leads good men to fall from grace

Too many times it don’t start out as lies
Sooner or later you’re gonna grow wise
She’d rather choose to be lonely than be left alone

She’s a stone
She’s stone cold
She’s a stone colder killer
She’ll find another she always does

Still accepting name suggestions for my GORGEOUS new guitar! It made its stage debut last weekend- just for one song, then I got too nervous to play it again 😂 so so so grateful for my family, my Patreon patrons, and one patron in particular (you know who you are) who helped make my white guitar dream come true! 💖

Sometimes you have way too much wine at a gorgeous vineyard in Greece. And then even though you also ate so much you can hardly breath, there is still musical magic with new friends by candlelight, under the stars, on an island on the Aegean sea. #naxos (w. @lisamannfineart @oinohoros_winebarshop_naxos @philemafoodtours) This song is called “Letter to Your Heart” - beautiful lyrics by @alfredhoward23 song by @sirensongs_music (on all the platforms)

Of all my albums thus far, I’m probably most proud of this one, and the fact that it made this int’l blog’s Top 5 of 2021, and it’s a LIVE album AND they re-posted the distinction/review this year…well it all makes me really really happy and really really grateful.
If you’re just discovering me, my music, go check out this album (✨link in stories & bio✨) or you can buy the cd off my website, I don’t know if I’ll ever make something that feels more authentically me, flaws and all (…of course I’ll try…it is only “volume 1” after all.)
Thanks again to Walter Price at Global Texan Chronicles for the honor, and to all the incredible individuals that worked on this album with me…and of course to every voice captured on the record; cheering, laughing, maybe crying? What a privilege to sing for you and to get to do what I do.
Which reminds me, I was only able to make & pay for this record because of my Patreon patrons, so to YOU - I am also eternally grateful. ❤️

Always on the Run recording setup. Mic: CAD E300S preAmp: Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 —— Originally I composed the song on acoustic (lyrics by @alfredhoward23 ), recorded that on the same setup and then added a bunch of midi instruments using garageband. That’s typically what you’re hearing when I post videos of new songs. In this case, I sent all the tracks to @mixbutler and he kept the vocals, made them sound great, added all the other awesome sounds you hear (including recording all those electric guitars), and is responsible for how fantastic it sounds. (I do think @momentoftruthsd recorded drums at home like I did, but last month he and mike went into the studio to re-record the drums for the official album version which I hope 🤞🏻 will be out sometime early next year. , the awesome sounding demo is already out on all platforms.) #originalmusic #homerecording

wanted to share another one from my upcoming album with @alfredhoward23 - I love love love this little song. when Al sent these lyrics I immediately felt connected to this perfect poem. I didn’t wanted to rearrange any aspect, no extra rhymes, verses, or even a repeated chorus. I just wanted to write a simple melody and arrangement on my guitar and really highlight these gorgeous lyrics. It’s one of my favorites on the record, and dynamically I love its place in the line up - being the most simple. We might add some other sounds, we might not, not sure yet…we’ll see. Just wanted you to hear a little bit of the demo. (full demo on Patreon)
Here’s the full lyric:
I’m tired and I weary
Aware that my time’s running out
It’s north to the mountains
And Mexico’s straight to the south
This blood drop horizon has spoken of smoke through the night
And it’s smoke before fire
Like a bell that rings right ‘fore the fight

I can’t go to sleep when my heart beats me up at this pace
With a pulse like a jackhammer stopwatch that’s runnin’ a race
We air every grievance to deep in the evening to rest
So I’ll drive through the night and relive what I should have said next

I love you forever
We traded our vows by the trees
They witnessed our words and they offered applause in the breeze
And nothing of value has ever come easy to me
So we’ll put in the time and make certain it’s right
We’ll both close our eyes and we’ll sleep well at night
Yes, we’ll both close our eyes
And sleep well at night.

Oh hey! had my head stuck in a laptop for 2 weeks, working on my folk/rock civil war MUSICAL! @rosettaproject_musical - this weekend we’re doing a mini workshop at @lewisandclarkcollege

I don’t think I ever shared that last year Rosetta Project (aka “Wakeman”) was one of 20 finalists for the @namtpics (Nat’l Alliance for Musical Theater) new musicals festival in NYC - out of nearly 500 submissions! Truly thrilling! We also won Best Musical (and 4 other awards) last summer for the @officialbroadwayworld - Portland Awards.

I get so focused and in my cave sometimes, I forget to come up for air. I forget to share all the incredible things happening. 💜

Making the music & making me so happy: thanks to the magical @mixbutler for capturing @thenaj 🥁& @belgiangiant (bass)and making this stage of the music happen. Prob going to be one of my big favorites on this record w/ @alfredhoward23 !!!! Not sure what we’ll call it yet…”I Know You Won’t”? “Give Up on Me”? or the full: “I Know You Won’t Give Up on Me”???? Thoughts?

sometimes it feels good to belt it out real quick.

BAHAHAAAAAAA 🤣🤣🤣 I did it again. I forgot to do the “after” last night. …Did I do the first part right? (…besides looking so obviously exhausted after a week of concerts and traveling?) Did I do the music right? I guess please enjoy my “before & before” reel. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Last night @sirensongs_music played a beautiful concert in Portland produced by the MAGICAL @karenpride - and now I’m bummed because my next tour dates are SIX MONTHS AWAY!!!!! (Unless anyone books me privately, always an option…😉)That feels crazy. But I have a musical and two albums to finish, and a third album to get started, so I’ll be busy.

Go check out the rest of the song by @haleyjohnsenmus - she’s so so good, I’m a fan!

Finished this song “July, I Dream of You”! (the one I was working out on the piano in an earlier reel). Performing it now with Merideth in @sirensongs_music and I put the demo on Patreon, you can join for a $1 and download it. :) link in bio OF COURSE. I’m always mentioning Patreon because it’s the way I make music, and the support I receive through it has changed my life & enabled me to keep creating. I am truly humbled and grateful that so many of you help me and want me to keep singing, keep writing, keep performing. Tomorrow I’m playing my first house concert in a while (read: pre-pandemic) and hence I’m just now realizing that my sound equipment is gone. I have no idea where or when I could have lost it between Nashville and Portland over the last 2.5 years, but it’s happened. Sooooooooo I’m going to have to purchase a new system, mics, & stands. (I do have a mixer thanks to patrons) - so I’m looking for an extra burst of patron support this month and would love you to be part of that if helping a musician purchase equipment for small concerts sounds like a worthy cause. I’m aware I could borrow equipment, but I’m optimistic that things really are opening back up and I’ll be needing sound equipment OFTEN. So if you’d like to chip in a $1, this month and maybe over then next few or more AND get demos of all the things I’m writing (like this song)- click the link in my bio and head to Patreon. I’ll send you a personal thank you video for helping me out. ❤️ Jenn
