Jen Youngs

Bio:

..   I was born on Staten Island, NYC and grew up in the 70's & 80's with my mom, dad and brother. My dad is the actor John Savage (The Deer Hunter). He worked a lot on location so we spent our childhood in amazing places like the Hungarian plains, Africa, Finland, cool places and sound stages in Europe, NYC and LA. my home base was Malibu from 3 to10 years and Cape Cod Ma. from 10 to 21. I went to Art school in Boston until my dad brought me to Rome to be in Francis Ford Coppalas film the God Father III. I did 2 more movies over-seas, Nights of Fear in Russia and Mountain of Diamonds in Malta and went back to the Cape, found Tana (my wolf dog) and drove cross country to pursue my love of music and acting in L.A. Eventually I landed a role on the NBC TV series D.R. Quinn Medicine Woman for 4 seasons as the Swedish immigrant “Ingrid”. All the while and writing songs and playing the House of Blues, The Roxy, The Whiskey, etc., with my band “WHAT’S THE BOB”. In 1996 I was bit by a rabid wolf and died off the show so I decided to put all my energy into my music and made a recording of “What’s the Bob” with Producer/Musician Ronnie Champagne. We then made “MOBIUS” a concept cd about reincarnation that was performed with actors and props, a Rock Album called “Jennifer Savage” for a film called "Lucidity" and then in 99 we went to Portugal so Ronnie could record and tour with the band Xutos e Pontapes. After a few years in Europe we ended up on the east coast and made two Demo cd’s with lots of good vibe “Only Human” and “I like to watch TV” Then headed to Seattle in 2007 to put a band together and continue. All the cd’s were released independently on InterGalacticPlastiCo. And CDBABY.COM.
