Jennifer Femme is telling stories. Stories about love. Stories about her dramatic internal world. Stories about rain, the sun… and a man named Big Willy. With a background in jazz guitar and classical violin, she tells her stories with a voice both earthy and soaring, heart-wrenching and tongue-in-cheek. She has made a name for herself in Chicago playing countless shows around the city (both solo and with her band), hosting open mics, and founding The Purple Teapot: a DIY performance space which offers queer artists of many disciplines a place to hone their craft and make connections.
You can listen to Jennifer Femme on all major streaming platforms. Her discography includes an EP, a live album and “Rain,” the newest single off her debut album which is set to release later this year.
