Jenny Owen Youngs - Artist in Residence January 31, 2007

Jenny Owen Youngs is a feisty, hyper-sensitive, disease-free singer/songwriter/former girl scout who wants to be your friend. Claiming influences from beck to Jesus Christ Superstar to Britney Spears, her music is an echo of Erin McKeown hopping into Jeff Buckleys Pontiac, cruising backwoods Alabama red dirt roads and singing along to the Sundays and Nick Drake. Her songs straddle the heart-wrenching and the tongue-in-cheek and say giddyup.

Her current goals include musically causing the hair on your arms to stand up, learning Greek, and like fellow Jersey boy Jon Bon, seeing a million faces and rocking them all.
