Details:
Singer-songwriter Jen West used a rippling creek running through a lush, green forest as a backdrop to shoot the video for her latest single “Reborn.” It’s a good setting as West — who performs on acoustic guitar and ukulele — has a sound as big as nature and writes sharp, introspective songs drawn from experience in the living world. Another single, “Scar,” featured on her YouTube channel, was shot on a sunny hillside under a leafy tree. “This song is about how the things that scar us in life shape who we’ve become,” she notes. “And to not be bogged down by regrets.” The Rhizomes emerged in 2019 from a conversation in a Chester Park alley. We have been rocking out in neighborhood basements and local venues ever since. Our music is indie folk/pop, with the occasional punk side eye. Our songs explore how not to be a jerk amidst planetary and existential crisis, as well as offering practical advice on relationships, travel planning and much more! The Rhizomes are: Emily Gaarder (vocals, guitar); Chris Handsone (guitar); Dave Clark (drums); Scott Neby (bass). Tickets: $7 online / $10 at the door. all ages!
