The Village at Palisades TahoeSunset Series: Jenni & Jesse (of Dead Winter Carpenters)

Jenni grew up as a key fixture in the local music scene, playing at north shore venues alongside her parents and brother. Immersed in a family life that fostered musical creativity, she consumed a wide variety of sounds that continue to influence her soulful mountain string vibe today. In the summer of 2009, Jenni met Jesse Dunn, a guitarist and vocalist, at a northern California music festival. Three weeks later they found themselves in Tahoe City for a joint gig at Commons Beach. In spring of 2010, Dead Winter Carpenters were born and the pair has been making sweet melodies together ever since.
