****Otis Grove - Boston, Ma
Begining as a collective experiment in crossing the traditional organ jazz sound with funk, hip-hop, and rock tones. It was the beginning of a sonic realization based in groove and free in improvisation, yet rooted in songwriting and melodic structure. In early 2004, on the heels of their self-titled debut album, the band began spreading their sound to clubs around the New England area. The music, which has since evolved into a unique blend of aggressive rock n' roll and high-intensity organ funk (some fans have dubbed their genre 'Runk'- a mixture of rock and funk), pays tribute to the masters while consistently pushing itself in new directions. It's as if jazz organ legend Jimmy Smith had been the fifth member of Led Zeppelin, or if the Meters had joined forces with Black Sabbath. Performer Magazine writer Sam Merrick described it best as "a monstrous funk groove that probably would have sent Godzilla running had he been in the neighborhood."

What's with the name “Jen Kearney & The Lost Onion?” “It gets asked all the time and is a valid question, so I'll finally answer it” says Boston singer/songwriter, Jen Kearney. “Onions span cultures. If you look at recipes for most savory dishes made on the planet, onions are usually included in the first five ingredients on the list. They defend themselves to the death. When you cut them they make you cry. Onions are humbling. Onions are layered. They're covered in paper and were used in the embalmed bodies of Pharaohs in place of their eyes. Onions have such soul and history and we can never lose either. They are also delicious.”
After 20 years of writing and recording music, Kearney has spent a lot of time experimenting with seasoning her particular style and flavor. Her latest album, Age of Blame is truly an amalgam of musical styles ranging from soul, R&B and funk- to rock, latin and jazz, while maintaining a singer/songwriter's attention to lyrics. Her band stirs the eight cuts of the album through boiling points and gentle simmers that concentrate that flavor down to hit all points salty, sour, sweet and bitter.
