Recorded a national radio commercial (speaking) for Papa Murphy's the other day. So, if you happen to hear the commercial about Fran, the frantic mom driving home from work, that's me! I'm Fran in the commercials as well as the announcer in some of them - 'Handmade fresh, Homebaked great!"]]> http://jennifergrimm.com/news.html#26 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0700 www.jennifergrimm.com - Jennifer Grimm - News http://jennifergrimm.com/news.html#24 Out and about - doin' what we do best.

Having a blast with the crew on the Girl Singers tour. Pretty easy when the crew consists of my brother(drums), my sister(vox), my mother(vox), my aunt(vox), and the piano player, the bass player, and the crazy fun tech guy.

Playing a bunch in the plains and then we go back home at the end of March. I'm home for a few days, and then I head out to New York to play the Metropolitan Room on Thu Apr 8th and Carnegie Hall Fri Apr 9th. My good friend, Lynn Loosier is the reigning champion of The Apollo Theater's competition and she told me that she plans on having me sing at the Apollo on Wed Apr 7th, but we shall see.... T'would be crazed.

Anyhow, the schedule of the whens and the wheres is on my Schedule Page. Feel free to drop me a line and be sure to pop over to a show if I'm in your area!!!!

Q: Where did you grow up?

A: I grew up on the road with my family singing in resorts, lounges, casinos, theme parks, etc. We had a home base near Minneapolis/St. Paul and another out by Atlantic City where my grandmother lived. After getting off of the road around age 13, I ended up completing high school and college in Minneapolis where I still reside with my husband and two children.

Q: What made you realize that music was your path?

A: Music is the family trade. Since birth, all of the children were steeped in show business and it only feels natural for it to be at least part of my path, if not my entire focus.

Q: How would you describe the music that you typically create?

A: I create quite a few different types, depending on the need. The most consistent quality in the music I create is just that. Quality. I pride myself on being versatile and able to jump in, figure it all out and perform/create accordingly.

Q: Who are your biggest musical influences?

A: My family, of course, but besides that, Peggy Lee, 90's hip-hop and R&B, 40's vocal pop, Mel Torme and Nat King Cole.

Q: What makes your music unique?

A: I like the blend of the old showbiz sensibility mixed with today's flavor and mentality. Good lyrics, catchy hooks, old-time sound, today's need for a great voice.

Q: Has there been one particular moment in your musical career that you're most proud of?

A: Jumping out to New York to do a solo show. I had grown up as the daughter, the sidekick, the bonus, the chick singer in a band of boys, etc. I decided to do my very first solo show all the way out in NYC. It was a big dive into doing things on my own. It went very well and was received as such in the Village Voice that year. Loved it. Also, my After Noon album as my first all-original venture. I'm particularly proud of that.

Q: What's next for you?

A: Trying to get my music to a larger audience while still churning out the music that's needed here in town to stay alive. Jingles and weddings and voice overs and commercials make the cash, but going back on the road with my family promoting an album would be right up my alley and is certainly where I'm most at home.]]> http://jennifergrimm.com/news.html#23 Wed, 17 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0800 www.jennifergrimm.com - Jennifer Grimm - News http://jennifergrimm.com/news.html#22
I'm just playing a bunch and rehearsing a bunch for this crazy Carnegie Hall thing in April. Tough music, but it's nice to be seriously challenged musically. I think I just said I'm musically challenged.... Well, you know what I mean....]]> http://jennifergrimm.com/news.html#22 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0800 www.jennifergrimm.com - Jennifer Grimm - News http://jennifergrimm.com/news.html#21 http://jennifergrimm.com/news.html#21 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0700 www.jennifergrimm.com - Jennifer Grimm - News http://jennifergrimm.com/news.html#19
First off, I made it past the Semi-Finals and am on to the Finale next weekend for a slick $10,000. If you're too new to the newsletter to know what I'm talking about, there is a pretty funny singing contest I'm in that has been going on for quite a few weeks and quite a few rounds. Now, I've made it to the Finale, May 16th, where 20 finalists sing and one lucky stiff walks away with 10 grand. Yipes.

If you're a facebook person, you can see how my friend, Sandi, chronicled the events thus far by following this link: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/album.php?aid=16340&id=1598884454&ref=nf

Secondly, in the news, we are 'scheduled' to have this baby the last week of June. Thursday, June 25th, to be exact. So we are looking forward to meeting our new baby girl!
_____

Lastly, there has been a cancellation of the Hell's Kitchen show later this month. I hope to be able to make my way back in there later this year...

Thanks for your support, and, if you're interested in a goofy time, come down to cheer me on at the Medina Ballroom Saturday, May 16th, at 7pm for the Finale of the $10,000 contest!

My mom, Colleen Raye, thought it would be a good idea to enter into
the Singing Family FaceOff, so we did a quick video and uploaded it
onto their site.

Cool - check it out if you have a chance.
If we make it to the finals, I'm sure there will be an online vote or
something, so I may be bringing it up again!]]> http://jennifergrimm.com/news.html#17 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 00:00:00 -0800 www.jennifergrimm.com - Jennifer Grimm - News http://jennifergrimm.com/news.html#16 I have a couple cute videos on YouTube that my husband put together:
