Mar 12: Jen Kearney at Acoustic Long Island
Stevie Wonder defined soul music as being something that comes from deep within the artist, not specifically R&B music, but music that is deeply rooted in the heart and mind of the artist. Jen Kearney’s music and talents are exactly that. Her lyrics trigger deep emotional shots sparked by a deep and passionate voice. Regardless of the medium or its rules, Jen Kearney has a firm grasp on the true principle of musicianship: that music is an ocean of culture expressed through sound and knows no boundaries. She is not afraid to dive into any music that catches her attention. She wants to know about its culture and meaning, she wants to live it, breathe it and experience it as if it was her own. This explains her ability to easily apply Latin, R & B, rock, jazz, reggae, blues and funk influences into her music, which is ever expanding into other realms. We can only expect her music and fan base to grow and reach into all parts of the community. Reviews: “…Kearney Square’s debut CD shows that these soulful retro rockers have thoroughly absorbed their influences. ‘On Fire’, in a word, smokes. Jen Kearney’s deep voice, is a powerful instrument…” Lexi-The Noise-December 1999 “…Singer Kearney has a deep, powerful voice well suited for the blues of ‘hell and heaven’ and ‘feeling good today’, but she can also push it into overdrive for heavier tunes like the Kashmir-esque title track, ‘On Fire’…” Pat Burtis-Northeast Performer-April 2000.

Welcome to the #1 Acoustic Podcast on iTunes - brought to you by 
If you have not seen Jen live, you are abusing yourself! Go right away to the next show she plays near you or suffer the consequences!
Seriously, though, this woman and her band kicks arse, ‘specially when the sound is filled out with a horn section and percussionist. Jen’s an amazing songwriter, keys player and vocalist, so please help support local and indie music and go see her live.
