Native Texan Jen Mulhern, aka Jenuine Cello, is a captivating model of a modern one-woman band.

Since earning her degree in Music Performance from Texas State University, Ms. Mulhern has forged her own musical path, expanding on her classical vocabulary to include composition, songwriting, contemporary improvisation, collaborative projects, and solo performing. 

In 2014, Mulhern's solo looping project, 'Jenuine Cello,' was born as a series of monthly shows at Café Crème in Austin, TX. Her early performances were a testament to the ideology that the audience should be allowed to eavesdrop, witnessing the creative process as each layer is built from scratch until the fully-realized creation of a one-woman cello army. Mulhern dedicates her compositions to improvised form and content rather than rehearsed replication. Her live recordings and performances take listeners on a road trip free from genre, saturated with an array of influences. With undercurrents of Bach, Blondie, Beatles, Bjork, Blues and everything in between, Jenuine's music combines classically infused inspiration with raw textures to create a unique sound of layered soulful puzzle pieces. Equipped with a cello and a mic, a looping pedal, a 6-string electric cello and a knack for glitchy self-made beats, Jenuine Cello creates a symphony of spontaneous sound painting that tugs at the soul and awakens an ancient desire to howl at the moon...

After nearly 20 years in Austin/Central Texas as a freelance cellist and private cello instructor, Ms. Mulhern moved to South Padre Island, TX in 2017 to pursue Jenuine Cello as a full-time solo career. In addition to various collaborations and bookings as a solo artist, she is currently promoting the April 2024 release of her new full length album ‘Loopholes’ to add to her collection of previous recordings: 'Live at Cafe Creme' (2014), 'Falling Trees Make Sound' (2016) and 'Re-Imagined' (2022). Jen currently resides in both Texas and Buffalo, NY and performs with the Victoria Symphony Orchestra, the Corpus Christi Symphony Orchestra and as Principal Cellist of the Laredo Philharmonic.
