2nd SHIFT Concert: Jenny Owen Youngs

Jenny Owen Youngs is the kind of artist whose beating heart shines through everything she does Jenny Owen Youngs has never shied away from the extremes of the emotional spectrum in her songwriting. From heartbreak and disillusionment to joy and bliss, listening to Youngs is to appreciate the very distillation of how it feels to be human. The intimate individuality and unique voice at the core of all Youngs’s work contrasts with the major platform and wide reach her songs and songwriting have enjoyed. You’ve heard her songs on big TV shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Weeds, and Bojack Horseman. You’ve heard songs she co-wrote taken to the top of the charts by artists as disparate as Panic! At The Disco and Pitbull. Avalanche, Youngs’ newest album, is the soundtrack of an artist exploring the peace she found in surrendering to forces beyond her control. Jenny Owen Youngs is the kind of artist whose beating heart shines through everything she does, and her performance promises to be both intimate and grand in scope, an evening of songs that spin profound personal loss into the kind of acceptance we have all experienced and understand.
