SUMMARY:Jenna Kay Band
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Tickets: $15 at the door\, Doors open at 6PM \nAbout Jenna Kay: \nArmed with boots\, bows\, and powerhouse vocals\, Jenna Kay is anything but subtle. With\na voice built for anthems\, her music hits hard\, flowing through lyrics about messy breakups\,\nresilience through heartache\, and navigating the awkward\, beautiful chaos of life in your\ntwenties. The Nashville-based singer-songwriter layers her velvety vocals over doo-wop\nmelodies and distorted guitar riffs\, creating a sound that is equal parts glam and grit. Channeling\nthe spirit of artists like Avril Lavigne\, Hayley Williams\, and Pat Benatar\, her music is nostalgic\nand fearless. Stylish\, sultry\, and razor-sharp\, Jenna Kay is redefining what girl-powered pop-rock\nlooks and sounds like. \nRaised in St. Louis\, Jenna showed a natural gift for music. She started singing at just five\nyears old\, taught herself the ukulele at 12\, and by her teens\, was landing the lead role in her high\nschool’s musical. As a freshman\, she was cast as Roxie Hart in Chicago\, the first in her school's\nhistory to do so\, and by senior year\, she was playing Heather Chandler in Heathers. After\ngraduation\, Jenna moved to Nashville to pursue music full-time. She continued to grow as an\nartist\, working with mentors\, defining her sound\, and connecting with the local music scene.\nShe’s become a rising regular performer in the city’s live circuit\, taking the stage at iconic\nvenues like The Bluebird Café\, Tin Roof\, Jelly Roll’s Bar\, and Jon Bon Jovi’s bar.\nOn stage\, Jenna is electric. Trained in musical theater\, dance\, and voice\, she’s a triple\nthreat. Bold\, theatrical\, and sassy\, she’s studied under some of the best in the industry\,\ncompleting Broadway intensives in New York and auditioning at iPOP events in Los Angeles.\nThe momentum continues to build\, as the accolades follow. Jenna was nominated as an\nEmerging Artist at the 2025 Josie Awards\, received Female Vocalist of the Year in 2025 at the\nNashville Music Awards\, and was ranked as a Top 10 Songwriter by Nashville Songwriter\nAssociation International (NSAI) in 2026. Her latest project\, Smartsass\, debuted at No. 6 on the\niTunes Pop Album Charts and reached No. 26 across all genres after its release. These\nachievements solidify her as one of the most exciting new artists in music today.\nJenna Kay balances the grind of her music career with a full-time job as a professional\nmakeup artist. She does her own makeup for every show\, video\, and photo shoot and shares tips\nwith fans on social media. Unapologetically honest\, she isn’t afraid to speak her truth\, proving\nthat you can be soft\, stylish\, and strong all at once. Her signature logo is tattooed on her wrist: a\nsemicolon\, a star\, and a treble clef in the shape of her initials\, J.K. The same logo is stitched on\nthe sleeves of her merch as a reminder of how music saved her life. She’s building a catalog of\ntherapy anthems\, designed to meet listeners wherever they are: too soft\, too loud\, too much\, or\njust a little messy. Her empowering mantra sums it up perfectly: “Just tie a bow around it.” Own\nthe chaos\, dress it up\, and walk out the door like you planned it that way. Polished enough to top\nthe charts and edgy enough to rattle the speakers\, Jenna Kay is the full package\, wrapped up in\nbows and boots.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
