Quintessence - Tasteful Music - Holiday Soirée
Quintessence is an intimate evening of curated food and wine pairings complemented by a music setlist, creating an unforgettable evening that’s a delight for all the senses.
Featuring music by Jennifer Keszler, singer-songwriter, and Wendi Kirby, pianist.
Jennifer Keszler has been drawn to singing and writing songs since childhood. In high school some of her lyrics were recognized and awarded by writer/producer Charlie Peacock (known for his work with Grammy award winner Amy Grant and The Civil Wars among others). After submitting several original songs, she was picked to participate in a Nashville workshop with Liz Rose, co-writer of many of Taylor Swift’s early hits and the well-known song “Girl Crush” by Little Big Town. Jennifer had the honor of being chosen to perform for Rodney Crowell and Lisa Loeb at a local music gathering in Asilomar. Whether it’s hearing Bernie Taupin talk about the creation of songs like Tiny Dancer, learning unique writing techniques from the talented singer/songwriter Jonatha Brooke, or having the chance to sing at The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville- nothing feeds her soul more than being around all things songwriting. She is currently working with LA based producer Jeremy Robinson to arrange and record her newer material. You can find several of her recent songs on Spotify or Apple Music, and more of her catalog on SoundCloud.
