Jenn Harris Americana/folk/country originals
Chicago singer-songwriter of quirky Americana/folk/country originals.
"A creative force. Jenn Harris has a true gift for language, storytelling that is unexpected and satisfying, and a musical sense that can conjure both Gillian Welch and Sandy Denny. She inhabits her songs with a captivating, wide-open modal tilt and the eye of a novelist for characters and details."

Meet Jenn Harris
I’m a Chicago-based singer-songwriter with a love of Americana, folk and old-school country music. My songs explore the lives we live and the beauty of this world, through rich imagery and storytelling. Lost love, bad decisions, night demons, geologic time, seahorse orphans, spelunking, the garden of friendship, the search for the divine, a circa 1918 London boarding house, lonely ghosts—I’ll write a song about almost anything!
I perform around Chicago at places like:
* Jarvis Square Pottery
* Lakeview Taproom
* Madame Zuzu's
* Mojo’s Vinyl Bar
* Montrose Saloon
* Tavern on the Glen
* Uncommon Ground
