" WESTWORDS BEST SINGER-SONGWRITER" NOMINEE Denver 2008 and 2009
"Music this arresting and dark almost demands nighttime and sleaze . . "
- Kyle Smith, Denver Westword
*****************************************************************
With a stunningly agile voice, Jen Korte leads The Loss to the Meadowlark. Dexterously working her way up and down the scale
it is definitely possible to get lost in her powerful lyrics
and delivery. The band - equally talented - adds melody
and a richness that compliments Korte's lush sound.
*****************************************************************
"Korte sings with a nearly unparalleled intensity so robust
and honest that it is almost frightening. Her voice fluctuates
skillfully from a songful whistle to a roaring, sonorous call..."Jonathan Bitz, Denversytax.com *****************************************************************
"...and a guitar attached. If you're sick of watching musicians
who "sort of" have natural talent, ..
come see Jen. She is doing what she was born to do."
Sorry a little cliche, but true.-DenverMetromix.com
******************************************************************
"that old high school friend that springs up out of nowhere,
Korte's performance blindsides the audience with her
gregariousness and boundless energy. Armed with
nothing more than a giant red guitar and a voice that
could stop a missile, she assailed the audience with an
full on audio assault." Whitney Van Cleave, DU Clarion
*******************************************************************
"Unassuming to raw and tenebrous, and is quickly
setting her apart. "Sarah Benehuk, Denver Westword

On
June sixth, twenty Denver musical acts swap songs at the all night
auditory orgy called Denver Does Denver. Played on three stages between Bar Bar
and Old Curtis St, these two neighboring venues serve as the sets for
promiscuity in sound. Each band abandons their original material to
play a set covering another Denver band. The expansive lineup includes
a wide assortment of Denver's most adventurous artists, from singer
songwriters to electronic composers, hip hop crews to blues crooners,
improvisational avante gardists to old time country troops. Witness a massive intersection of local on local sound at Denver
Does Denver.
