Jean Lenke (Free Friday Concert)

Jazz-Folk vocalist Jean Lenke paints scenery & emotion through song, approaching her canvas with broad strokes and a free hand. Having launched her musical career late in life, her music is influenced by an eclectic mix of genres that span generations. Jean has recently made her home in the Pacific Northwest, on the Olympic Peninsula. Through her music she celebrates all the shades and hues life brings us here, feelings, beautifully expressed and set free! As a performing artist, composer, lyricist, and bandleader she brings the joy of her parent’s music of the 1940’s together with the spirit of the Folk-Rock & Jazz-Rock Fusion soundtrack of her own youth in an eclectic mix ~ familiar, yet slightly off center, with haunting appeal. Artfully blending the magic of the past with the energy of the future Jean’s delivery is transportive, melting hearts with her a crystal clear tone and sultry warmth.
