**Join Jenna Nicholls and Dorraine Scoffield for a benefit concert for Hudson River Sloop Clearwater** to support their efforts to protect the Hudson River and empower the next generation of environmental leaders through education, advocacy, sailing and music. 2026 marks the 60th anniversary of founder Pete Seeger’s first fundraising concerts for the sloop, and the start of Clearwater’s musical heritage that continues to this day. Jenna Nicholls is a genre-blending singer-songwriter whose music evokes the golden age of the American Songbook, laced with the spirit of Hank Williams and Patsy Cline. With four albums under her belt—including a debut featured in film and television soundtracks—Jenna’s latest album, The Commuter, produced by three time Grammy-winner Larry Campbell, delivers vintage Americana with a fresh, cinematic feel. With Campbell’s masterful touch and Jenna’s unmistakable voice at the helm, the record is a modern classic—a love letter to American music in all its dusty, dreamy glory. Hailing from the small town of Irwin, PA near Pittsburgh, after college Jenna set her sights east to test her wings as a songwriter and performer. Initially trying Boston, she ultimately gravitated to the creative hotbed of Manhattan’s Lower East Side forging lasting friendships with other like-minded artists and musicians. Her early albums revealed a restless muse and a theme that would be a constant for Nicholls: a love of vintage music – anything from classic music films like “Singin’ in the Rain” to Bessie Smith. A winner of the multiple songwriter competitions, Jenna has toured with Ingrid Michaelson, Glen Hansard, Lucius and Joan as Policewoman, performing at iconic venues including the Beacon Theater and Carnegie Hall. With every note, Jenna Nicholls invites you into a world where old souls speak, hearts break, and stories live on in song. “Her songs land like a freight ship into the harbor of hearts and ears… The air changes. Pure mastery.” —Glen Hansard West Shokan based **Dorraine Scoffield**, began playing violin at age 8 and got her first regular band gig at age 15 with bluegrass band The Suttons.
