    About Jenee H.

    Jenee is a modern American singer/songwriter in the truest sense of the genre. She has much in common with Patty Griffin & Shawn Colvin in both writing style and delivery, what is more impressive is the fact that since her debut album was released in 2008 the quality of the writing has been up there with the very best. She’s a keenly observant writer and has an eye for detail way beyond that of a young artist... Vocally she shares many attributes with Griffin, the range and phrasing certainly have distinct similarities, and this is no bad thing as it makes the whole collection of work immediately engaging and somewhat familiar; but from the first listen in its obvious H. is ploughing her own furrow with her mix of traditional and contemporary themes. H. grew up in the high desert of Spokane, Washington, the daughter of hippie parents who let her find her own direction. She spent her childhood exploring her mother’s garden and singing along to records with her Dad. In middle school, she transformed into the rarest of birds; an athletic choir geek who sang medieval choral works, but loved Led Zeppelin and Dolly Parton. She wrote quietly on her own for years, moving from place to place – Spokane to Seattle to nowhere Alaska, before moving to Boston in 2007. She collected all of her songs into what would become The River Grace. Raised By Wolves reclaims the careless freedom of her childhood with a sense of wonder that is unique and fiercely engaging. *** Lesson Details *** I teach guitar both electric and acoustic in various style from finger style picking to rock. I teach ukulele and basic piano. I can work with you on performance technique and repertoire. I teach voice from an approachable style. I do not teach opera or Broadway style vocal lessons. My style is best suited for people who want to access their true voice and find it's beauty and uniqueness. I can work with you on songs and the songwriting process and teach you basic theory. *** Studio Equipment *** Acoustic and Electric Guitars Ukulele's 88 Key Keyboard Amplifiers Vocal Mic *** Travel Equipment *** Guitar and ukulele *** Specialties *** My specialty is songwriting, singing and performance. The marriage of these and how to get good at them and grow as a performing musician is my specialty.
