| Despite a love of science fiction and fantasy reading sparked by her sixth-grade English teacher, Jen Midkiff was unaware of fandom until veteran filkers Barry and Sally Childs-Helton introduced her to filk in 2002. She's been working to remedy her early deprivation ever since.
In Wild Mercy, Jen plays harp and bass guitar, as well as providing lead and backing vocals. After three albums with Wild Mercy, Jen began writing her own songs. She first jumped into recording those songs in 2012, with her CD release All In Good Time. A second album, Collage, followed in 2016. Her third full-length album, Finding My Balance, had its CD release at OVFF in 2023. She has several other EPs and singles available on her Bandcamp page as well. Jen's not-so-mild-mannered alter ego is a K-5 general music teacher, and librarian. She also plays weddings, funerals, parties, and other special occasions, but loves to spend free time reading, knitting, and snuggling with cats or dogs (and rarely, cats AND dogs simultaneously!). Big thanks to her husband Phil for his unfailing love and support, and hugs to her amazing teens Max and Kade! Bandcamp: jenmidkiff.bandcamp.com Jen can also be heard on the album The Pegasus Nominees: Songs of Space, Science & Science Fiction - "Gravity Exiles" |
