Stephanie Serna, aka "Pirate Jenny" recently moved to Akron, Ohio, from Long Beach, CA. In Akron, she is quickly becoming a regular in the local music scene, singing and playing ukulele, guitar, accordian and keyboard.
She is now a member of the infamous gypsy, pillbilly, brown grass band The Misery Jackals.
And is now sailing the frosted seas with her sweet band Pirate Jenny & The Bandoleers
Whenever she's back on the West Coast, she sometimes stands in on accordion and keys with her old band Kapt. Kula's Pyrat Party.

How've you been Stephanie? Missed you a lot this summer. Been traveling all over. Guess you might've been too. Nice to stop by again and say ahoy. Hugs, Eric
