"But at the heart of it all is Korte — a musician whose work has matured substantially since she moved to her adopted home town ten years ago. Whether her rough-hewn voice is belting out old-school country-influenced originals, working alongside Latin beats or churning through the Femmes catalogue, Korte shines brightly." "How Jen Korte Restarted Her Music Career "- By Bree Davies/ Denver Westword

Recently named one of Colorado's Top Songwriters by Colorado Music Buzz 2014

"Jen Korte comes equipped with damn good pipes (vocal chord pipes to be exact) and a guitar attached. If you're sick of watching musicians who "sort of" have natural talent, come see Jen. She is doing what she was born to do. Sorry a little cliche, but true.-DenverMetromix.com
"Jen Korte's debut album release Jen Korte and The Loss
( September 2009) was rated one of the top albums of 2009 by the Denver Westword and has been met with overwhelming praise across the board. "Korte’s weathered, world-weary voice (reminiscent of Rachael Yamagata and Lucinda Williams), harmonies from Jessica DeNicola, and the band’s evocative use of instrumentation create a late-night, listen-by-yourself album that does not neatly fit into any genre. As Korte describes it, “a little bit of make-out music, a little bit of crying music, and a little bit of rock.” - John Solomon , Denver Westword

"Korte has a continuous need to challenge herself as a musician and find opportunities to collaborate with kindred spirits.."
Robyn Vie Carpenter - Out Front Colorado April 2012

"Jen Korte and the Loss are a great example of heartfelt, melancholy, painfully honest folk. Jen Korte has been playing locally for years and you can tell by her skill as a live musician. She uses her acoustic guitar for percussive effects and rocks harmonics melodically. In the video you'll see Jessica DeNicola singing harmonies." - Lauren Gale, The Examiner 2011

“… it’s a work of sheer beauty that utterly consumed us the first time we heard it.” Dave Herrera, Denver Westword
“Jen Korte is not a thousand feet tall, but her voice makes you believe that she is. From the moment the air leaves her lungs … her powerful, alluring voice places you out of your mind and into a raw, unveiling of the truth behind her lyrics.” Dave Preston, Colorado Music Buzz

"Throughout her debut, particularly on cuts like “Fleeting Love,” Jen Korte’s voice drips with seduction, longing, saddness and regret. With admirable depth, she also displays unyielding resolve in the face of her inherent vulnerabilities. A talented cast of players, add welcomed texture to Korte’s otherwise sparse compositions, making her first outting one to remember.” – Denver Westwords Best albums of 2009
