Jenn Howard is a powerhouse Americana–blues–rock vocalist whose soul-drenched performances feel both timeless and unmistakably her own. A New Orleans native, she was raised in the city’s raw rhythm and emotional depth—an influence that continues to shape her signature blend of blues grit, R&B groove, and deeply personal storytelling.
For over a decade, Jenn has been a commanding presence on stages across New Orleans and beyond, including standout appearances at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Whether fronting a full band or holding a room in intimate silence, she moves effortlessly between original material and reimagined classics. Her sound bridges eras—rooted in tradition but undeniably current—anchored by a voice that soars, aches, and commands attention in every room she enters.
Her acclaimed album Valiant Women marked a defining chapter in her artistry, earning recognition for its emotional honesty and fearless exploration of strength, love, and resilience. Now stepping into a new era, Jenn is releasing new music that leans further into vulnerability, nuance, and self-awareness, while expanding her creative reach through collaborations with artists like Kelli Baker and Papa Mali.
Offstage, Jenn’s life as a mother and wife grounds her work with an added layer of authenticity and depth—fueling songs that feel lived-in, reflective, and deeply human. Rooted in New Orleans but resonating far beyond it, Jenn Howard is not just a performer, but a storyteller and collaborator—an artist who brings presence, power, and emotional truth to every stage she takes.
