Jen also performs in a separate acoustic project with Anne Husick, a veteran
New York musical force and guitarist for Bluestruck.
Their collaboration as songwriters and performers has provided much of the
material for the full band set. The duo continues to
perform everywhere possible, since they are continually writing more
material than they can actually perform in one show! Most
recently they were invited to perform at the GoGirls Elite Showcase 2005,
the Songwriters Hall of Fame New Writers Showcase 2004, and Earth Day NY.
