If there were any justice in this word, jazz and lounge singing would still be popular. It would be the best way to showcase such an unstoppable vocal talent as Funkyjenn (Jennifer Gibbons.) On the other hand, the 1950s happened, and they gave us — thank goodness — rock’n’roll. Funkyjenn has talent in spades and treats us to it to great effect on her debut, Rock and Roll Voodoo Queen.
Swinging from rock and blues to soul, Rock and Roll Voodoo Queen is a tour through all that is good and holy in American music (minus the jazz, I guess.) Funkyjenn’s backing band includes the best of the best in the LA roots scene as well. This is as visceral and fun as music is going to get. Enjoy.
If your dance card has not yet been filled for Thursday and you live in the LA area, Funkyjenn would love to see you at the album release show:
