Jenn Grinels packed her bags and didn't look back. After releasing her debut album
Little Words in 2007, the singer-songwriter has been touring non-stop across the country and blogging about her nomadic life, steadily growing a fanbase in anticipation of her next album. Her voice is killer, rich and full-bodied like a fine Bordeaux, and it slinks around the fabric of her acoustic guitar with heartfelt blues.
She nails it on her driving rock songs like "No Better" and "Treason," but even on her more playful numbers like "Misery" and "I Know Your Heart", her vocal performance is arresting. It also helps when you write emotionally charged songs about relationship crutches, rough patches, and the bittersweet pain of love at a distance.
Buy her album and make your way to one of her shows. Or even better yet, book her for a house concert through
