About Jenna Ellefson at Historic Balch Hotel

Jenna Ellefson is a singer-songwriter, banjo player, and member of the Portland-based folk trio Yellow Birds. Her audience can expect authenticity, a living room feel, and a light-hearted approach to genuine connection.

"Folkstress Jenna Ellefson has proven she can turn even the hardest souls into pure putty. The Portlander’s chalky voice, coupled with delicate and minimalistic folkscapes, makes for quite the serenade." – Willamette Week
