Jenny Bruce

A Note from Jenny New York City is the place where I was born and raised. My parent's didn't have much, but they did have a beautiful Mason & Hamlin Grand Piano with real ivory keys. It was my favorite toy growing up (I destroyed the ivory pretty quickly...). I began singing and writing songs as soon as I could reach the ivories. Although I hate being compared to anyone, I've often been told that I remind people of Shawn Colvin with a hint of Carole King, Sarah McLachlan, and sometimes Paula Cole. I grew up listening to everything from Coltrane, Motown, Disco, Gershwin, R&B, Rachmaninoff, loads of Prince and The Police. I loved The Police. A few cool things worth noting - "Music To My Ears" from my first self-titled CD was included in an episode of Dawson's Creek last year and my song "Home" from my new CD, "Soul On Fire" is included in a compilation CD called "Sleepytime" that Martha Stewart released this fall - "it's a good thing!" I'm the only unsigned artist on the cd which includes Alison Krauss, Barenaked Ladies, Lucinda Williams, Eva Cassidy and others... A few of my songs were included in the soundtrack for the Independent Feature Film, "Sex and the Other Man (not X-rated, I promise!)," directed by Karl Slovin starring Stanley Tucci and Ron Eldard, and the recent award winning Indie release "30 Days," directed by Aaron Harnick (star of Judy Berlin). I was selected as runner up at the '99 New York Lilith Fair Talent Search and have showcased at many, many music festivals and conferences...
