(Billboard/Rolling Stone) “Jen Kearney is a singer-songwriter from
Boston, Massachusetts that represents the very best of what that job
description signifies. She’s got a vocal style that’s full-bodied
and steeped in character. And her storytelling chops and facile lyrics
are off the charts.”- Eric Harabadian (Downbeat/Geoff Wilbur’s
Music Blog) Frank Morey: “This is blues, jazz, rock and, if you
insist, folk. It's Wolf and Waits, Louie and Leonard (Cohen, that
is)…. and it's the kid who wanted to sound like Bix Beiderbecke.
Frank Morey may not know it, but he’s about to invent the new
American Folk Music.” – Dave Palmeter WUMB
