“My favorite sound is the silence in between the beats. That’s what I would want to be remembered for in this era of constant humming." -me

South Padre Island, TX - Jenuine Cello, aka Jen Mulhern, is a captivating model of a modern one-woman band. Her live compositions take listeners on a road trip free from genre, saturated with an array of influences. With undercurrents of Bach, Bjork and everything in between, her music combines classically-infused inspiration with raw textures to create a unique sound of layered soulful puzzle pieces. Equipped with a cello and a mic, a somewhat beat-up looping pedal, a 6-string electric cello and knack for glitchy self-made beats, Jen Mulhern creates a symphony of spontaneous sound painting that tugss at the soul and awakens an ancient desire to howl at the moon...

Following the success of her first live DVD recording, 'Jenuine Cello live at Cafe Creme', Mulhern released her first EP, 'Falling Trees Make Sound'. Both are available for digital download under the 'Shop" tab. Stay tuned for more news to come, and get on the email list to hear about updates first!
