Bio
Jeanine Renée is an Americana singer, songwriter and poet from Paonia, Colorado. She fell in love the first time one of her poems grew melodic wings and took flight. Jeanine’s lyrics have been described as ‘raw with grace’, transporting the listener to a place that ‘defies time’.
Growing up exploring the Allegheny backwoods and ponds of their 114 acre homestead in Western New York, Jeanine was always wandering and singing. Though she left to experience further adventures, it is evident in her music that the soul of her home runs deep within her.
After studying Performing Arts in Texas, Colorado and NYC, Jeanine returned to ‘the quiet’ and settled down to raise a family and sheep on a farm in Wisconsin, ultimately moving to the mountains of Colorado. Jeanine’s resonant, soulful voice bears witness to the life lived and woven together through powerful, vulnerable lyrics. Her live performance is honest and peppered with stories, humor and her infectious laugh.
Currently, Jeanine has written and released 2 full albums, Tell Me True in 2021 and Plastic Madonna, as well as Railwalker, a book of poems, both released in 2023. All are available at Jeaninerenee.bandcamp.com, where her albums are available on CD or digitally and other streaming platforms.

Book
An Excerpt from her new book entitled ‘Railwalker’
Echoes
I carry a song in my pocket
that I sing along the ditch –
it holds a piece of my past
locked within its resonant mourning.
A cry echoes forth
from the broken hobo’s journey –
caked in sin like the tar
on a rail walker’s shoes.
