EPISODE 3: JENNIFER O'CONNOR
Jennifer O’Connor is the consummate songwriter, with her crystalline voice, precise guitar work, and craftswomanship appearing on television, in movies, in marketing, on her Matador Records releases, and on her very own label, Kiam Records. Jen performs two new songs with her guitar and a beat box (ok an iPhone actually) and then schools Chris on what it’s like to dispense cocktails at a Broadway show.
