Jenica is a 2014 graduate of the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater, where she played string bass in the Big Band, Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra, Wind Ensemble, Vocal Ensembles, and various musicals and operas the university produced while earning her BM in Music Education with a Jazz Minor. She teaches music in Hudson, Wisconsin.
If Jenica looks familer to you, perhaps you saw her performing as a member of the earth-tet, a 4-piece combo that was the house band at The Black Sheep restaurant and played for weddings, banquets, luncheons, and other special events in the Whitewater/Madison/Milwaukee area.
She also did a lot of freelance playing with a variety of groups outside of school while going to school in Whitewater. This included many genres from accompanying church groups, to playing in Irish, Folk, and Bluegrass bands and much in between.
Jenica plays double bass with the St. Croix Valley Symphony Orchestra. She has also subbed on string bass at the Wabasha Street Caves with the Moonlight Serenaders.
