Voted Best Local Band in Marin!

The Pacific Sun just named us Best Local Band in Marin 2026, and we’re the first woman-fronted band to ever take it. Still wondering if one of our loyal fans stuffed the ballot.

Meanwhile, 2.7 million of you watched us play in the last several weeks, and 32,000 stuck around and hit follow. We have absolutely no idea what we did to deserve that, but why ask why?

The Girl Who Swallowed the Moon

The Girl Who Swallowed the Moon arrives October 23, with the title track mixed by Bob Rock. The singles are already up on Spotify and the other usual platforms. Stream them loudly and often. We’d like to break Spotify. Fresh T-shirts and merch are up too, because it’s delicious.

“Jenny Kerr's new album is an intriguing combination of tough vocal and instrumental chops from the blues/folk traditions that are effortlessly mixed with impressive, passionate songs and moody, expressive modern day sonics. If you're a fan of smart, electric roots music, I cannot recommend The Girl Who Swallowed The Moon highly enough.”

— Dave Alvin

California's gifted Americana singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.

Jenny Kerr is one of few active contemporary artists who fully embody the breadth of the Americana idiom, mining the roots of folk, blues, country, bluegrass and rock to produce a catalog of original work that is respectfully steeped in tradition while still fresh, modern and immediately identifiable as her own.

An accomplished multi-instrumentalist, Kerr deftly traverses guitar, dobro, banjo, piano and harmonica over the course of a show, but it’s her deeply soulful, powerhouse vocals that define her sound and connect with audiences worldwide.

—Joshua Zucker, SF Chronicle

  • Jenny writes flat-out great Americana tunes, absolutely in the same league of such great tunesmiths as Tom Russell and Nanci Griffith...This fine record is a long time in coming; hopefully the next one is on its way soon, because Jenny Kerr is a singer-songwriter who really stands out from the ranks.
