Porter is currently performing in St. Maarten to rave
reviews at The Sopranos Piano Bar, located at the Sonesta
Maho Beach Resort Plaza, through the end of January.
With music that flows from one song to the next, from style
to style, Jen Porter has the ability to captivate any
audience. Critics say her voice is "soulfully raucous" and
that she is "without a doubt an artist to keep your eye on."
She is compared to Sheryl Crow, Stevie Nicks and Janis
Joplin in the same breath. With a voice that reaches out and
grabs you, and a piano style that's captivating and melodic,
her performance is always memorable.
Born and raised in Chicago, Jen was singing before she could
walk and began playing piano at the age of 5. She spent the
next 14 years being classically trained. During college, she
learned guitar. Soon after obtaining her bachelor's degree
in 1996 from the University of Michigan, Jen realized that
she wanted to perform. She worked with several bands,
singing lead and harmonies, and playing piano and guitar in
many venues around southeastern Michigan for close to five
years.
Jen's powerful voice is attracting more attention than ever
before. She has played many venues around Chicago, including
The Cubby Bear, House Of Blues Hotel and Hard Rock Café. Her
style is expansive and universal — and you can't help but
love her powerhouse voice and smooth piano.
Jen performs a repertoire drawing on such diverse songbooks
as those of Stevie Nicks, Aretha Franklin, Alanis Morrisette,
Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Queen — as well as her own
original compositions. Don't miss this performance force, as
she continues on her unique path to wow audiences
everywhere.
Catch her shows Mondays through Saturdays from 9 p.m. to 2
a.m.
