Jen Wood's Folk Music Update Sept 2025
Hi friends!
Apparently it’s been 64 days since I’ve sent out one of these, so let me assure you that all is well over here. I didn’t really have much of an update last month, as all my August shows were canceled to attend some family matters on the East coast.
take me to the show!
I have one show coming up in September, a benefit for Minneapolis Trans Mutual Aid:
Badger’s Den - 1915 Buchanan St NE Minneapolis
$10 - September 20 - First act 7:00, I go on at 7:30.
Also playing:
- Joe Bartel
- Big Lex Noens
- Ungrateful Little String Band
Pretty heady company for this earnest poet folkie!
a technical note about buying music
Tired of paying Peter Thiel a dollar each time you buy an album with PayPal? Good news! Bandcamp is moving to Strip for payment processing.
Also! Some of my music is now available on Mirlo! I get a much better percentage, and also PayPal-free! In their words:
Mirlo hosts a community of artists, listeners, organizers, and coders who are daring to do just that: taking lessons learned from working in the solidarity economy and applying them to our platform.
thanks for the memories…
The release concert this past July was incredible. Thank you so much to everyone who showed up to sing along! I had such an amazing time, I was glowing for days.
If you didn’t make it to that show, well, come to this next one over in North East!
goodnight, and see you soon!
Thanks to all, for the encouragement, for financially helping me to make this album, and most of all for showing up!
Until the next time, I’ll leave you with these words from Wendel Berry.
Love, light, and music,
—Jen
Stay Home I will wait here in the fields to see how well the rain brings on the grass. In the labor of the fields longer than a man’s life I am at home. Don’t come with me. You stay home too. I will be standing in the woods where the old trees move only with the wind then with the gravity. In the stillness of the trees I am at home. Don’t come with me. You stay home too.
