it's waves are building power, and have already
touched many shores all over the world. Catching
the ears of music A&R's, directors, reviewers, and
filmmakers across the globe, Jen's independently
released debut is poised to become one of the
next "New Big Things".
Growing up in small mid-western town, USA,
citizens of more trendy, musician friendly
metropolis's can't help but inquire where Jen finds
the inspiration to write such diverse and original
material. Hard pressed to label or place
"Miles Away" in any one genre, "Miles Away"
usually leaves the listener scurrying for words to
explain what just entered their ears.
When asked about the genre of "Miles Away",
Jen will usually give a few seconds of silence, a
chuckle, and then do her best to describe the
melodies that are running thru her head at the
moment. Call it alt/folk, call it alt/jazz, call it
whatever you like. Does great music really need to
be branded? If there is a section in the record store
labeled "Music From the Heart", that is Where you
will find Jen's "Miles Away".

Wow. All I can say is wow. Jen Gloeckner's album is just...stunning. Dark and melancholy, Gloeckner's singing is simply stunning. Set to music that's a mixture of jazz, pop and folk, Gloeckner is a singer who will impress you instantly. Her songs are tempered with complex and beautiful instrumentation, most of which she arranged and performed herself. Miles Away is utterly brilliant. If you're a fan of singers as diverse as Heidi Berry and Tim Buckley, you'll find much to love with Jen Gloeckner.
