| About Jennifer Milich |
|
Jennifer Milich and Seth Ginsberg have been playing music together for at least ten years - Jen used to be the girl Seth would call on stage when his band needed a female vocal. They supported each other's bands - his was the Rooftop Cowboys and later Mad Cow Town - hot fusions of country swing klezmer and rock - hers was Adam's Curse, a singer-songwriter lyric heavy punk acoustic duo (really). When they again joined forces a few years later Jennifer was drawn more to the raw sounds of Americana than to the indie rock she had always loved - she fell in love with the Carter Family and wanted to bring their kind of intimacy and heart to the sound she had been exploring with Seth. They formed a new band, working and reworking old songs, writing new songs that sound like tunes you've always known, and finding a fit for all of their influences in their refurbished folk/lounge feel - from Bruce Springsteen and Tom Waits to Muddy Waters, Billie Holiday and Rickie Lee Jones. Right now they are playing around town with their little family band - joined by Dennis Lichtman, who is also a member of their favorite bluegrass band, Astrograss. Check out Cold River too - Jennifer's collaboration with Astrograss's Jordan Shapiro - progressive americana with a big heart.
Jennifer also sings with Brooklyn's own AudraRox - a rock band for kids and families - and their video can be seen this season on Noggin's "Jack's Big Music Show" - www.audrarox.com.
