Los Angeles-based newcomer Jenny O has a knack for creating feelgood, upbeat, and wildly catchy folk tunes, but it’s her unique voice—calling to mind Janis Joplin in her sunnier moments and Melanie Safka simultaneously—that makes her stand out from the crowd. Her Jonathan Wilson-produced EP, Home will be released later
this year.

In the video clip below, Jenny O performs “Learned My Lessons,” “Get Lost” and “It’s In Our Hands” at SXSW on March 16th, 2012
