Have You Brought Jenna Home Yet?
Both of Jenna's CDs are available for purchase on CDBaby.com as well as iTunes!  So, if you're unable to make it to a show (or you just can't get enough Jenna!), you need not fret! 

Jenna's first CD, 13 Men...and Me!, is a crowd-pleaser featuring her stylistic versatility with well-loved standards such as "Just In Time" and "Down With Love," pop hits including "One Less Bell To Answer" and "Since I Fell For You," as well as contemporary jazz/pop songs and the sizzling title track, "Thirteen Men." 

Her second CD, To Connie...Love, Jenna, is a live recording of Jenna's Connie Francis tribute show, which was recorded during her June-July, 2009 run of the show at The Metropolitan Room in New York City.  It features a number of Connie's biggest hits like "Stupid Cupid," "Who's Sorry Now," and "Where The Boys Are," as well as several lesser-known gems.
