Jenrose and the Kentucky Bootleggers: News

Cowgirl Up - September 16, 2008

Greetings, Fellow Bootleggers!

Many have asked why we haven't been playing, and especially why Helena has been so hard to catch. This is partly because the lovely and talented Helena has fallen in love with her "new" (1972) tractor, but... there is more to it than that.

The other reason is that we are currently working on a new CD, called Cowgirl Up. This project will take some time, as Jenrose is co-producing it and learning a lot in the process. But we are very excited about the project, the songs, and about working with Kathy Weisbach, our sound engineer and co-conspirator. Kathy has been incredibly supportive and a joy to work with, and we can't wait to share these songs and this project with you.

In the mean time, come and catch us - solo or duo - when the opportunity arises. We thank you for supporting independent music.

Peace,

Jenrose (& Helen)

Dream Release - July 30, 2007

Greetings, fellow bootleggers!

Just a quick note to say THANK YOU for all who turned out for our CD release on Saturday night. What a fabulous evening!! You far exceeded our expectations - evidenced by the fact that we sold out of CDs before we even took the stage. Wow. We are so grateful for your incredible support and enthusiasm. For those who "pre-ordered" the CD after we ran out, your CD will be in your hot little hands very soon.

A special shout all to Angie, Christy, Kathy and Nick for sitting in; the Troubadours for blessing and blissing our special night; Luster for the fabulous tribute to Solomon Burke; and the Soapbox Sirens for giving us such incredible energy and help. Head and Kri, you lift us up every time. Trevor, you are an expert merch guy. What more can we say? Y'all rock.

Cowgirl Up!!

Your Bootleggers,

Jenrose & Helen

Make Your Own... - February 1, 2007

Greetings, fellow bootleggers!

Many have asked why we aren't playing much right now. The answer is that we are working on our second CD, "Make Your Own," due out in late summer/ early fall. We are pleased to be working with Kiya Heartwood of Outlaw Hill Studios once again. We are very excited about this project and can't wait to share it with you.

In other bootlegger news, we are happy to report that one of Jenrose's songs for the new CD, "To My Lucinda (Lose These Blues)," has been selected as a finalist in the International Songwriting Competition! How cool is that? We think it is pretty darn cool.

Keep on rockin' til soon...

Jenrose & Helen

Bootleggers are back!! - January 7, 2006

Greetings, fellow bootleggers!

Well it’s official… Jenrose has returned from upstate NY as the new improved “Dr. J.” After four months in the northeast of all work and no play, she is eager to make some music! Look for new dates on our Calendar page, with more soon to follow.

Keep on rockin' y'all...
