Jenn Howard, back to the music scene after a too-long hiatus and following the breakup of her rock group "Project Nim" ten years ago, has joined up with a selection of solid musicians that includes local funk-rock act Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes and jazz guitarist Felix Wohlleben to produce her new solo album, "Up At Night."
"Singer/songwriter Jenn Howard, who as a teenager fronted the fondly remembered Project NIM, has kept a low profile of late, soaking in recordings by the likes of Etta James ... Her studies have paid off: Her voice, always a potent force, is now colored with shades of country and blues, and is all the richer for it." -Keith Spera, Music writer - Times Picayune
