In a tapestry of sound, Jenna Nicholls weaves a spell: be it strumming her ukulele 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 the promise of tomorrow. Born and raised in Pittsburgh PA, and after a brief stop off in Boston, Jenna headed to the Lower East side of Manhattan. It was there she honed her craft, pulling on her love of vintage films and the American Songbook marrying them with modern folk music all while collaborating with the many gifted artists of the New York scene. Jenna has written and recorded four studio albums. Her latest release “The Commuter" was produced by and features Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan, Levon Helm). Jenna has been a finalist for the International Songwriting Competition, and most recently was the winner of the 2024 Nerfa Songwriting Competition. She's toured nationally with Ingrid Michaelson, and has shared bills with Oscar winner Glen Hansard, Lucius, Joan as Policewoman, and The Cactus Blossoms performing in venues all over the world including the Beacon Theater and Carnegie Hall.
