JENNY BERKEL

singer-songwriter-poet

New Single - “You Think You’re Like the Rain” - Out Now

Jenny Berkel, a white woman with brown hair, sits on a sand dune with a blue sky and lake behind her.

Hailing from the lush countryside along the edge of Lake Erie, Jenny Berkel is a singer-songwriter, poet, and teacher. Whether you're reading Jenny's poetry or listening to her songs, you'll experience her drawing layers of far-reaching concern into particular moments, like concentric waves rippling inward toward a lone cast stone. Her most recent full-length album, These Are the Sounds Left from Leaving (Outside Music), showcases the perspective of a unique storytelling artist, with an evocative practice that hinges powerful narratives on the intricacies of a multifaceted musicality. A songwriter immersed in poetry, a poet immersed in music—her work in all its forms is an invitation into a world of relatable introspection, in which even absences can be sculpted into vividly memorable verse.
