Jenn Grinels

Award-winning songwriter and powerhouse vocalist Jenn Grinels introduces her striking new artistic evolution. This performance celebrates her latest project, Western Heart— a collaboration with lyricist and poet Alfred Howard. Bringing her signature down-to-earth charm and effortless storytelling to the stage, Grinels’ new music explores ambition, longing, love, and the passage of time against a vivid sonic landscape that stretches from parched desert horizons to the western shoreline. Known for her authentic, soul-baring performances, Grinels has built a devoted grassroots following, sharing stages with numerous artists including 10,000 Maniacs, Marc Cohn, and Marc Broussard. Moving seamlessly from intimate vulnerability to full-throated power, she delivers an evocative evening of music that lives beautifully between genres: part folk noir, part roots-Americana, and wholly her own.
