NYC based singer/songwriter Jenna Nicholls, will retun to The Packing House stage. Jenna blew us away with her unique style and fresh lyrics! We are fortunate to have the opportunity to have Jenna join us once again. Jenna will now be joined by local musician John Clark who will open the show. This is an acoustic performance not to miss!
The music of JENNA NICHOLLS has been turning heads since she arrived on the door step of the Lower East Side of NYC.
Whether she’s crooning a jazz standard, belting out a New Orleans style dirge or plucking her 1920’s style original ballads on her Ukulele, she’s giving a vintage genre a new spin with her own lush nostalgic style and melodic sensibility.
Recently, Jenna has toured with Ingrid Michaelson, shared the stage with Oscar Winner Glen Hansard, Amanda Palmer, Lucius, Joan as Policewoman, Gerry Leonard (Spooky Ghost/David Bowie). She’s performed in venues all over the world including the Beacon Theater NYC, and Carnegie Hall.
“Home.” is a heart-wrencher, as she leaves behind all her vocal acrobatics. Frankly, this song doesn’t need them. Nicholls is a genius storyteller through her vocal inflections. This subdue ballad is reminiscent of Norah Jones but is distinctly Nicholls.
Jenna will be joined by local musical artist John Clark.
JOHN ANTON CLARK has been a part of the local music scene in eastern Connecticut since he moved here from Florida at age seventeen. He has contributed vocals and rhythm guitar to several duos and various bands, including collaborations with his brother Marty Clark, as well as Nashville recording artist Sarah Lou Richards.
All the while, he has been crafting a small trove of personal original songs composed of the various radical musings and eccentric observations of an unschooled creative and social dreamer. John gives voice to the inner workings of his heart and soul, and the excited anticipation of whatever comes next.
John Clark originally came to The Packing House to participate in our monthly Talent Showcase, where his vocals and songwriting impressed us all! He will be joining two other regional musicians at The Packing House on May 4, 2024 as the “2023-24 Talent Showcase All Stars”. Tickets on sale soon.
Join us for an evening of original works by these awesome acoustic artists!
