SUMMARY:Jenna Nicholls
DESCRIPTION:In a tapestry of sound\, Jenna Nicholls weaves a spell: strumming her ukulele or playing the piano with the spirit of New Orleans or crooning a cowboy’s tale with the soul of the West. Her melodies\, like vintage vinyl spun anew\, carry the weight of memory and promise of tomorrow. With three albums under her belt\, her songs have found their way into the heart of cinema and the pulse of television. On the road she’s shared stages with legends like Ingrid Michaelson\, and Oscar winner Glen Hansard. From the storied stages of Carnegie Hall and the Beacon Theatre\, Jenna’s music echoes through the night\, a testament to the enduring power of song. \n“Her ability melodically to leave me wanting the next part of the story is mesmerizing. Jenna points out universal moments in our lives and even though they’re personal to her\, I don’t feel left out. The level of descriptive writing in her lyrics is astonishing.”\n– Melissa Ferrick \n“Her songs land like a freight ship into the harbor of hearts and ears… The air changes. Pure mastery.”\n– Glen Hansard \nDoors open at 6pm\, show starts at 7pm \nTickets: $25 in advance\, $30 at door if not sold out\, $15 students \nhttps://tickets.benningtontheater.org/event/jenna-nicholls-sxeiz0
