Jenny Kerr

Jenny Kerr took musical example early in life from her grandmother, Louise Lincoln Kerr, a classical viola player with the Cleveland symphony and composer of note.

Although classically trained, Jenny's musical interests drifted toward indigenous American forms, such as delta blues, old-time mountain music, and country blues.

At a very young age, she began to teach herself the rudiments of clawhammer banjo, delta fingerstyle guitar, resonator slide and the harmonica (an unusual instrument for a young girl then as it is now). She had an early start in her career when at 13 a topical song she had written was chosen for the lead-in to KPFA news.

She lived, studied and performed in Paris for 8 years, left a post-doc degree at Oxford to return to her native San Francisco develop her own musical vision. She established her label JennyCo Records in 2000.
