Jenny is from the town of Angels Camp, California, a former gold rush town in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. She took piano lessons from an early age and sang regularly with her church and school. Jenny’s mother is a teacher and her father is a musician. She has traveled to 35 different countries and every continent except Antarctica. Jenny is also an illustrator and painter.
To help you get a feel for Jenny’s personality, we asked several of her friends to give their impressions of her. Here’s what they said about her:
Mister Lemur on Jenny:
Jenny has a ton of energy and wants to see and do EVERYTHING! She has guidebooks full of Post-it notes and a whole folder of e-mails with suggestions from friends on things to see and do in each of the countries we are visiting. Sometimes I think she just wants to be an explorer and the music is an excuse to travel and see friends all over the world!
Silky on Jenny:
She loves to go on adventures. She is always talking to the locals and is unfailingly energetic… maybe even a little overzealous. She is often wearing clothing from whatever country we are in, and she is always trying to learn new languages. She speaks Italian fluently, but she also knows some Spanish, French, Turkish and a few other languages I’ve forgotten.
Zebu on Jenny:
Let’s see… Jenny Hart. Woo – I don’t even know where to begin. I can tell you she sends a lot of postcards. She is very athletic and she has this photo collection of herself doing handstands in front of famous places all over the world. I can also tell you that just about everyone likes her, and she likes just about everyone. I think her biggest fear is that something cool is going on somewhere (anywhere!) and she is not a part of it!
Tambo on Jenny:
The girl has a sweet tooth, that’s for sure. She likes my famous banana splits, of course, but she seems to like all sorts of desserts. Can’t say I blame her.
Numbat on Jenny:
Jen has a rich voice and can sing with a lot of soul. Sometimes she questions her singing ability, and we have to give her pep-talks, but once we get through that she goes back to being a total ham on stage. Her personality in the band is basically the same as her personality in the rest of life. She wants to make sure everyone is having a lot of fun. When she is in Ranomafana she lives in the lodge, and all the guests and the people who work there love having her around.
