From The Blog Series… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home So, this past weekend “Stilettos-n-Steel” had quite an adventure. We had the pleasure of opening for The Rochester Razorsharks and followed that with a fun coffee house gig at Boulder Coffee Company – Park Ave. The adventure began in Queens, continued in The Bronx and then went all the way up to Rochester. The most outrageous thing about the 7 hour drive there and back? Well, it had to do with the weather…. where the heck did it all come from? I don’t know! We started out fine and then a few hours into the drive, the rain started. That was ok, but then it was followed by a heavy snow storm which transformed the snow into sleet and then hail. We were driving on the highway ALONE for a great part of the time and the roads were not snow plowed at all. Let’s just say we found ourselves in, oh, a bit of a pickle. We did eventually arrive in Rochester around 2:30 in the morning! On the way back home, we thought we were in the clear, but it ended up being even worse! Oh, the things we do for[…]

Blog #52: What’s on Your Christmas List?
From The Blog Series… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home What’s on Your Christmas List? How about “A Very Jenny Christmas” to get you ready for the Holiday Season? What do you get? Well, you get 10 of my favorite Christmas songs, plus one of my own, “Holiday Cheer” (Let’s Take Care Of Each Other). I got the idea of recording this album after spending the Holiday Season street performing around Manhattan singing my favorite Christmas songs. A friend suggested how great it would be for me to record a Christmas Album. While at first I was hesitant to do it, I followed my gut and took the journey! And so… “A Very Jenny Christmas” was born!

Blog #51: What Are Your 2014 Goals?
From The Blog Series… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home What are your 2014 Goals? Have you been thinking about them yet? Well, you know the best way to jump start your life is to do just that! For me, the most effective way to achieve my dreams has been setting exciting, challenging and tangible goals on a regular monthly basis and then watching myself make progress with these goals. If there is no PROGRESS, then there is no excitement, and then, of course, you’re gonna give up pretty quickly. And you know what, before ya know it, 2015 has come and you’re nowhere closer to your dreams then you were in 2014. Now… I know, believe me I know, there’s always gonna be that little chatter box in your head giving you a million reasons NOT to follow your heart, and that’s ok! That’s all part of the PROCESS . That voice is just there to guide you immediately towards the other voice, THE ONE IN YOUR HEART that says, “Just pick up the pen and write. Write from your heart. Write from your gut.” And once you start to do that regularly, and that’s the key here,[…]
Blog #50 – The Civil Wars – “Poison & Wine”
From The Blog Series… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home So, I just did a cover with my duet partner from “Stilettos-n-Steel”. It’s another song by The Civil Wars that we absolutely love! This is the way to write a song. It’s an example of LESS is most definiteluy MORE! We played this song regularly in our setlists during our first tour as a duet this past summer.
