Jenny Bienemann is a powerhouse. She works at fundraising for the Music Institute of Chicago, a job that requires a great deal of patience, communication and passion. She is a mother; she is wife to fellow singer-songwriter Robin Bienemann. She gives songwriting workshops. She publishes haiku poetry and has sessions in which artist carve songs from the haiku she creates. She has helped struggling songwriters get in touch with the muse, which from her songs, seems like they are on a name to name basis. She is poised, elegant, witty and serious at the same time. And, she manages two websites: www. jennybienemann.com and www.haikumilieu.com. Oh, she also is an artist and has a weekly newsletter. No moss grows under this rock.
