Thanks! I know I’ve been quiet over here; life has been extra…EXTRA, over here, and I’ve been pretty overwhelmed. But I’m hoping to post more often!

New song I wrote January 17. Heart keeps breaking each day because of current events, but the lyrics of this song give me heart, and I hope they will for you too: jenmidkiff.bandcamp.com/track/this-m...

A friend with zero reserves started training for his new job today but is 3 weeks away from 1st paycheck. Needs support during this transition: l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http...

Clear Skies, by Jen Midkiff (she/her) track by Jen Midkiff (she/her)

New single on my Bandcamp page: all proceeds to help a high school classmate get back on his feet after a robbery/abduction four years ago left him with NOTHING. He has a job that starts Monday, but car is in shop. jenmidkiff.bandcamp.com/track/clear-...

I think it should be required for voter registration AND to run for office. Idiots who don’t understand how the government works are voting in other idiots who ALSO don’t understand how government works.

When I Was Singing: FAWM 2025 vol 1, by Jen Midkiff (she/her) 7 track album

Just in time for Bandcamp Friday…the first half of my creative output from February Album Writing Month! Home recording, very simple, but I’m happy to share these because they are BRAND NEW! jenmidkiff.bandcamp.com/album/when-i...

For Black History Month, we’ve been covering some great jazz artists. Today I got to watch elementary students absolutely fall in love with Ella and Duke performing “It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)” on the Ed Sullivan Show back in the 1950s.

Musk killed these people.

Got one for Indiana yet? I’ll share it far and wide!

50 States. 50 Protests. 1 Day.

We’ll see you out there 🤞🏻

NATIONAL SECURITY NEWS ALERT RINGING THE ALARM: THE POLITICIZATION OF THE FBI

open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

ACLU needs to pick that up and sue Florida!

Hope you feel better soon!!

In what little I’ve read from them, ProPublica seems to be disinclined to bend the knee to anyone telling them what/how they can say things. You’d be great for the job—I think you should apply!

Brilliant takedown of the DOGE bluster. Turns out there is law, after all.

Two new tracks of traditional carols, arranged and recorded by yours truly! December 6 is Bandcamp Friday, when the site waives its fees and 100% of revenue goes to artists. Come listen for free—try before you buy!—at jenmidkiff.bandcamp.com

Jen Midkiff (she/her) Harpist and singer Jen Midkiff is a performer and educator in the Indianapolis area. From early music to folk to pop standards, Jen has too many musical loves to pick just one!

Spent yesterday arranging and recording some traditional Christmas carols for harp. Looking forward to having some new content up for Bandcamp Friday on Dec 6! jenmidkiff.Bandcamp.com

It’s a fantastic album! The title track in particular has gotten me through some frustrating times in my life, but all ten songs are great! Beth wrote some amazing songs, and you have done a great job bringing her vision to fruition! Everyone should go give this a listen—and then buy it!!

Today I get to hang out with a local author to brainstorm a spoken word/harp improv event proposal for a local bookstore, and then have band practice at a friend’s house. Need these days more than ever, right now. Let the music flow!

Yup, rockharp.63 there.

So the GOP is just currently covering up potential sex crimes against children by one of their members and instead of releasing the report, they are trying to make that person the Attorney General of the United States? Do we have that right?

Can you check and see if it still says that, and let me know?

Bummer. I wish you luck in the job search. If I hadn’t already paid for the January event I probably wouldn’t go; we need to be saving up an emergency fund, & then we got hit with $3K of medical bills. I do envy you the scenery out there—I always appreciate when you post pictures of the mountains!

Hi Dave! Filk is our connection—see you in January?

Okay, I’m finally trying this one out. I quit X before it was X, and never missed it, but I have a lot of friends migrating here both from X and from FB, so I decided to sign up. With the coming governmental sh*tshow, we will need all the secure ways to connect that we can find.
