An intimate live music experience overlooking the Long Island Sound.
In a tapestry of sound, Jenna Nicholls weaves a spell — strumming her guitar, settling into the piano, and drawing listeners into songs that feel both timeless and immediate. With echoes of New Orleans soul, wide-open Western storytelling, and the warmth of vintage vinyl spun anew, her music carries memory, longing, and quiet hope.
A seasoned songwriter with three albums to her name, Jenna’s work has appeared in film and television, and she has shared stages with artists such as Ingrid Michaelson and Oscar-winner Glen Hansard. From iconic venues like Carnegie Hall and the Beacon Theatre to intimate listening rooms, her performances invite deep attention and connection, a perfect fit for an evening at Wainwright House.
Set against the backdrop of the Sound, this concert offers a rare opportunity to experience Jenna’s storytelling up close, in a setting designed for presence, listening, and community.
“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.”

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