Today, Saugerties, NY-based songstress Jenna Nicholls shares her fourth studio album, The Commuter, available everywhere now via Royal Potato Family, and produced by 3x GRAMMY® Award-winner Larry Campbell (Levon Helm, Bob Dylan) – listen here.


The title of Nicholls’ new album, The Commuter, is fitting in every sense – the story of a journey both musical and personal. “The songs curated here represent a time of transition,” she says, “from residing in NYC to a new home in upstate NY, from life in a corporate world to finding my voice in a creative one.” Songs like “Tie A String,” “All Those Days You Won’t Remember,” and the poignant title track signal a sense of departure as well as new beginnings, boasting a richer sound with inventive, fleshed-out arrangements and an astoundingly wide-ranging collection of original songs. Still, The Commuter makes it perfectly plain that Jenna Nicholls remains steadfast in her goals, invoking breathtaking emotion and musical artistry by simply staying true to her instincts.


Hailed for her unique ability to transport listeners to a different place and time with her distinctively inspired acoustic songcraft, Nicholls will herald The Commuter with a wide-ranging live schedule that includes headline shows and festival appearances.

Praise for Jenna Nicholls:


"...a voice that stops pedestrians in their tracks and imparts the identity of an American woman redefining her role and sense of self.” –Relix


“Jenna Nicholls’ songs land like a freight ship into the harbor of hearts and ears… The air changes. Pure mastery.” –Glen Hansard


“Her ability melodically to leave me wanting the next part of the story is mesmerizing. Jenna points out universal moments in our lives and even though they’re personal to her, I don’t feel left out. The level of descriptive writing in her lyrics is astonishing.” –Melissa Ferrick


“Jenna Nicholls is a shining gem, pure and simple. A refreshingly unique songwriter with a wonderful sense of melody, a captivating lyrical style all her own and a stellar voice with which to bring her copious talents to the world.” –Larry Campbell

About Jenna Nicholls:

Jenna Nicholls weaves a spell with her utterly individual tapestry of sound, strumming her ukulele with the spirit of New Orleans or crooning a cowboy’s tale with the soul of the West. Her melodies, like vintage vinyl spun anew, carry the weight of memory and promise of tomorrow. Hailing from a small town near Pittsburgh, PA, Nicholls gravitated to the creative hotbed of NYC’s Lower East Side, where she honed her abilities as a songwriter and performer while forging lasting friendships with other like-minded artists and musicians. Three albums on her own dime revealed a restless muse and lush, nostalgic style encompassing classic sounds spanning anything from Singin’ in the Rain to Bessie Smith. Along the way, Nicholls won over audiences on the storied stages of such vaunted venues as NYC’s Beacon Theatre and Carnegie Hall while also performing alongside fellow artists like Ingrid Michaelson, Glen Hansard, Lucius, and Joan as Policewoman.
