Jennifer Batten
(Toured with Michael Jackson & Jeff Beck)
Friday, August 27 8PM - $15
Tickets on Sale!
The buzz on Jennifer Batten rose from the guitar underground, and the guitar magazines promptly began
chronicling her savvy musicianship and highly original approach to the electric guitar in print. At one point
Batten was in 6 different bands, playing everything from straight ahead rock, to metal, fusion, and funk. A
major turning point came when she was selected from over one hundred guitarists to play in Michael
Jackson's highly skilled band which toured the world for one and a half years playing for over four and a
half million people. Jennifer wasted no time after the” Bad” Tour's grand finale, diving into work on her
own album with renown producer (and Stevie Wonder guitarist) Michael Sembello. The stunning results
can be heard on “Above, Below, and Beyond”, the title appropriately describing the interesting diversity
within. With this debut release, the world at large learned what all the excitement was about. Shortly after
the record's release in the spring of '92, she was asked again to join Michael Jackson for his upcoming
"Dangerous Tour". In January '93, she joined Jackson to partake in Superbowl XXVII's half time
entertainment, which aired to one and half billion people in 80 nations. It was the largest audience in
television history. In the spring of 98 Jeff Beck asked Jennifer to join his band. They joined forces for 3
years on the CD’s "Who Else", and “You Had It Coming” which was both supported by world tours.
Jennifer has authored two music books and has just released her third solo CD/DVD entitled “Whatever”.
With this 3rd effort, she’s ventured into electronica, vocal samples, and film. She’s supporting this release
with a multimedia one-woman show, playing guitar in synch with films projected onto a giant screen. The
companion DVD includes over 90 min of art films, previously unreleased music videos, interviews,
commentary, and an innovative guitar lesson. This will be here only musical performance whiles she is in
the area for the Michael Jackson Fan Convention in Merrillville, IN this August!
