Jenerator is the Bay Area-based love child of bassist/singer/songwriter Jen Rund.

Jen’s bass has taken her all over the western United States and Canada, as well as the UK, Ireland, Germany and Netherlands.

Performing and recording in many genres – psychedelic jam funk (Talley Up!), jazz/funk/soul (Mangobus), folk/ Americana (The Real Sarahs), reggae (Lumanation), straight-ahead rock (Infinite Frequency), and R&B/soul (Soulman Sam) – has given her experience in, and appreciation for, a wide variety of musical forms.

She is also deeply influenced by the Grateful Dead, and you can find her keeping the music alive with Bay Area notables at various venues around the Bay and beyond.

Inspired by an outpouring of new original material, Jen knew it was time to create her own project.

With Jenerator, she brings together a talented crew from around Northern California, and weaves together elements of all of her previous projects into a delightful whole. Jenerator’s upcoming debut release, Home In Here, is an excursion into lively americana, gritty blues, and haunting acoustic finger-picking, with trips into funk and reggae along the way.

Storytelling songs bring characters and the Western landscape to life with stories about the open road, the weirdness of being alive, and the joy of making music, interspersed with pointed social commentary.
