Hi everybody! Thanks for taking a minute to look at my page. My name is Jenna and I've been playing the piano since I was 8 but never really got into it till age 24 when my wonderful husband who is an awesome guitarist re-taught me how to play an instrument from my heart verses my head. I have been singing in front of audiences since high school and now sing for my church and a little band I'm in called "Impact" but just recently started writing my own music including piano melody, base line and all vocals. I'm so excited about my new "hobby" and hope you like what I've been working on. Thanks for looking!
Ummm... no band, just me and sometimes my hubby playing backup. :-)
Yes for church and my friends' band "Impact" but that's it... SO FAR. :-)
hmmmmm.... I love the emotions behind Evanessence. And I adore Joe Satriani and Chicago from the 80's!! I also really like Stevie Ray Vaungh and Bob Segar. And of course can't forget Beethoven!
Just a piano and my windpipes.
So far I have written 7 songs to completion. They are as follows:
"I never knew" --this is one of my newest and favorite songs. I wrote it for my husband to the backing of his song Emotions. (July 2005)
"I Love You, Goodbye" --this song was written about a very special person who was in my life but whom I no longer have contact with. I think this song has probably my most well written lyrics.(August 11, 2005)
"Please Don't Go" --this song was written with no intentions until after it was finished and i sang it for my husband we realized that it was subconsciously written about my fears a few years back when he had to work really late into the nights and I always worried something more was going on. So far, this is my favorite song I've ever written. (August 12, 2005)
"This is Me" --a soft yet soulful melody about discovering myself and my inner woman (February 2004)
"Sick of the Money" --an upbeat comedy of a song with a great beat about the struggles of money in today's culture (March 2004)
"Can't Live Without You" --a sweet song about my love for my husband James (April 2004)
"Till I Had You" --a pretty melody I wrote for my little boy Jeffrey (April 2004)
Covers I have completed or are in progress:
Fur Elise
Fur Elise with Strings
Hang Gliders (for Judy-my mom)
Pacabelle's Cannon in D
Songs in progress:(Still working on some of the names too.)
"Then Came You"/"Four Makes a Family" --a song I'm writing for my little girl Jillianna
"All About You" --this song is only halfway completed because I started it one night when i was very angry and after I calmed down, I never had the need to go back and finish it but I will someday.
"Daddy's Little Girl"/"Don't Wanna Be" --A song I am still in the conception stages of writing about the fragile relationship between my dad and me.
As soon as I get a working microphone and can get these songs recorded I will upload them so you all can have a listen. :-) Stay tuned!
