Jen Porter

Upon entering the room, Jen's powerhouse vocals and rhythmic piano immediately grab you. Her style is expansive and universal, encompassing everything from folk to contemporary to rock. Jen is a singer/songwriter/performer playing her own brand of piano & acoustic guitar-driven rock and belting out vocals, sometimes as a one-woman show, other times with a full backing band. Jen has opened for the band Lifehouse & has played at landmark Chicago venues such as the Hard Rock Café, The Cubby Bear, The Hot House & Navy Pier. She has sung the National Anthem for several major league sporting events & has played to a crowd of over 120,000 on the Mall in Washington, DC.

Here's what some of the critics have to say:

Voted BEST LOCAL MUSICIAN-2003 by readers of the Chicago Free Press

"Another Day [from Jen's second album, "It's About Time"] is the most requested song on our radio station." Rocco, FearlessRadio.com

"Jen has a true Janis Joplin feel to her deep, soulful, very rocking voice." -Gail Worley, StarPolish.com

"Porter has the pop sensibilities of [Vanessa] Carlton, but she's all grown up, and without a doubt an artist to keep your eye on. " -Joseph Filipak, ChicagoGigs.com

"...If Carly Simon and Stevie Nicks [accompanied themselves on] piano, the resulting sound would be similar to that of Jen Porter's." -RedIsAllTheRage.com

"This petite flame haired performer has a soulfully raucous voice..." -Brian Kirst, Hotspots Chicago

Jen deftly plays her own brand of original rock songs, as well as covers of artists Stevie Nicks, Janis Joplin, Alanis Morrisette and more. Jen is a fresh, powerful female artist, giving her heart and soul to audiences time and time again.
