Here are some shots from a Jen Cohen show in Fargo, North Dakota. We did a LOT of gigs together in the 90's. Jen has a great song sense and a genuine stage persona: that's the real Jen Cohen that you're seeing on stage. And Jen's dates were always fun; most of a musician's time is spent either in a bus or van or in a hotel room - basically, you're in very tight spaces with your fellow travellers for long stretches of time, so it helps if you enjoy the people you travel with. In this band, we spend most of our time laughing - at ourselves, at the crazy obstacles that pop up at gigs, at the food - you name it. You've got to have a great sense of humor to last in this band - there are some real quick wits aboard!

A typical moment. We're cracking each other up.

Mid-show pow-wow. The sets were always loosely planned, subject to our mood swings.

Working it. Working it hard.

Groovemeister Kevin Rapillo on drums. Solid as a rock. Meanwhile, I'm doing my best Rick Danko background vocal.
