About this Event
New England native Jenny Reynolds connects heart and mind to play and write like she knows all of us are a little broken. That’s what makes her go from revealing other people’s truths to confessing a few of her own. Her melodies draw you in. But it’s the truths that make you stay a while.
She has called Austin, TX home since 2003, and has been an Official Showcase Artist at the SXSW Music conference twice. She has played at the Bluebird Cafe, Club Passim, the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the Kerrville Folk Festival, and the Old Settler’s Music Festival. A formidable musician, she taught guitar at the National Guitar Workshop and the University of Texas.
Emily Shirley’s brand of thoughtful songwriter pop/rock is as finely tuned and brightly colored as the graphic design projects she works on for her day gig. Her latest release, Courage Up, is a genre-bending hybrid of indie-pop melodies woven over thoughtful, grounded lyrics. The 2018 follow up to 2015’s Duotone album continues Shirley’s presence as a vibrant writer who has come into her own in the Austin, Texas scene.
