Channeling rhythms and melodies from early 20th century music and infusing her songs with train travel across the American landscape, Jenna Nicholls collects the words and music into songs for her recent release, The Commuter. Produced by Larry Campbell, the album bounces to the Southwest swing of “No Boots” while it sticks to Folk with hints of Country for “Tie a String”. She tenderly tosses out “Butterfly Kisses” on ukelele strums and quiets to a piano reverie on The Commuter title track.
 
Relocating from an NYC corporate job to the nurturing musical community of New York state’s Hudson Valley, Jenna Nicholls expresses the joy of her decision with every note of The Commuter. Backing her songs with a musical spinning wheel of sounds that use a template of Folk and Americana, Jenna Nichols offers a self-assessment in “Holy Moses” and confides “When A Good Love Goes Away” on a vintage sway. The Commuter wraps “Small Talk” with a Ragtime rhythm and gently spins around the wobbly groove of “All Those Days You Won’t Remember”. Jenna Nicholls confesses “I Lost My Girl from Memphis” on a Western Swing dance beat as she undulates on the revolving rhythms of “You, Me, and the Moon”. (by Danny McCloskey)
