Biography
Jen Gloeckner is an American singer-songwriter based in Iowa.
During her teenage years, she began composing songs. She taught herself guitar. Inspired by the sounds of artists like Tom Waits and Bob Dylan, Gloeckner spent hours in her spare bedroom-turned-recording studio creating her first album. "Most of the songs were written during the recording process," Jen recalls. "I had originally written five or six songs, most of which were scrapped and replaced with new ones." With encouragement from music industry pros like Aaron Jacoves (former A&R vice-president of Virgin, A&M, and Mercury Records) and Derek Birkett (MD One Little Indian Records), her debut album "Miles Away" was released through Spinning Head Records in 2004.
