From the Music of the Night column by Brian Kirst appearing in Chicago Hotspots Magazine May, 2001:
"...if you are truly in an adventurous mood, and want to get completely drenched in talent, I suggest that you check out the incredible Jen Porter. Porter performs every Thursday at Gentry on State. This petite flame haired performer has a soulfully raucous voice and offers a truly unique cabaret experience. In between playing her own upbeat compositions, Porter covers rock's current creme of the estrogen crop. If you are longing to hear Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Sade, Stevie Nicks or Tracy Chapman done as well as the original artists, then Porter is your woman! Gentry has truly done audiences everywhere a service by adding Jen Porter to their roster of incredible performers." Thanks to Brian for those very kind words! -Jen
