Jenn Mundia at The Living Room

Brooklyn's Living Room was the ideal setting for singer-songwriter Jenn Mundia's set last Monday, with both an intimate vibe and tall ceilings. Jenn's vocal timbre has a soft and laid back feel, but was equally at home powering through more high energy songs. “Heads or Tails,” a new co-write with guitarist Greg Seltzer, perfectly captured her feel and attitude: a combination of ballad and acoustic soul, with longing and hopeful lyrics.

Jenn's band was tight and spot on all evening, navigating tight hits and quick melodies through a tapestry of soul sounds. Grounded by her long time bass player Tim Borecky, the band kept the crowd moving in their seats while her lyrics kept them listening.

The set was closed out with “Almost”, a tale of love in the modern world written with Allie Vreeland. The lyric “I don’t blame you… nobody wants a table just for one,” weighed heavy in the air like a blanket of just too much, telling the well-known tale of trying to find love in an overcrowded city. Technique, feel and balance are all things you can learn as a singer, but truths like those must be lived.

Mundia performs next at Muchmore’s at April 24th, details here.
