Jenny Langer is a powerhouse vocalist that casts with the soul of artists like Etta James and Aretha Franklin and the fire of a modern-day blues siren.

​

With a voice that can whisper secrets or bring down the house, she channels a timeless spirit that has captivated audiences from smoky clubs to festival stages around the world.

Born in California’s Bay Area, calling Washington DC home for 16 years, and now based in Nashville, Jenny’s journey is one of grit, soul, and endless musical discovery.

 

A graduate of Berklee College of Music, she launched the award-winning band Moonshine Society in 2010, touring internationally and championing American roots music with fire and finesse.  In 2015, Langer was diagnosed with cancer and shortly after saw her marriage turn to divorce.

 

To cope with the unraveling of her home life, she funneled her emotions into writing "The One That Got Away".  The song would give her the courage to record the album Sweet Thing with Moonshine Society, which won the 2020 International Blues Challenge (IBC) for Best Self-Produced CD.  

 

She simultaneously toured as a member of The Ron Holloway Band, a hard-hitting funk band lead by Holloway, a member of the Warren Haynes Band and Dizzy Gillespie Quintet.

​

In 2022, fate introduced her to Randy Jacobs and producer John Wooler. A two-day recording session turned into a full-circle moment as she stepped into the role of lead singer for The Boneshakers, whose high-voltage sound matched her own raw intensity.

 

Their debut together, One Foot In The Groove, shot to #1 (UK Blues radio charts and US Soul Blues radio charts) and won two Wammie Awards.  Their latest album Live to Be This (Gulf Coast Records) continues the ride and was released July 2025, debuting on the Billboard Top 10 Blues chart. The star-studded list of special guests on the album included Charlie Musselwhite, Bobby Rush, Don Was, Coco Montoya, Jimmy Carpenter and more- solidifying how respected the the 30+ year old band is in the contemporary roots music scene.

 

Along the way, she’s shared stages and studio sessions with legends like Buddy Guy, Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks, Gov’t Mule, Dave Koz, The Nighthawks, Malford Milligan, Bobby Rush, Charlie Musselwhite, Bernard Fowler (The Rolling Stones), Coco Montoya, Jason Ricci, Jimmy Vivino, John "Papa" Gros and more.  She has also provided background vocals for Maysa, Valerie Simpson, and The Righteous Brothers.

A multi-Wammie winner, Virginia Blues Hall of Famer, and Women Who Rock Ambassador, Jenny Langer is here to light a fire under the soul of every listener.
