Jennifer Boyer photographs and reviews artists live in concert with the added bonus of interviewing her favorite musicians, singers, songwriters and producers. She resides in New York City where she captures and witnesses great moments in live music.

Jennifer’s obsession with music and concerts has turned two of her hobbies into dreams come true. Never attending a concert without her camera since she was a freshman in high school, Jennifer no longer needs her film developed at the camera store – thanks to technology, all of her shots can immediately be viewed as soon as they are taken, uploaded and posted online.

As English was her worst subject since 6th grade, Jennifer never thought writing would become somewhat of a career aspiration. After taking a class at Columbia College Chicago called “Press, Consumers and Music Business” with a former Editor-in-Chief of the Illinois Entertainer, her grades in the course proved that there just might be actual talent in the subject. Music journalism is now an occupation that Jennifer takes very seriously and she hopes that when someone reads her reviews, they feel as if they were standing next to her at the concert.

After graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Arts, Entertainment and Media Management from Columbia, Jennifer has since worked for many concert promoters and production companies such as Live Nation, Jam Productions, AEG Live, Chicago Stagehand, ASJ Worldwide and C3 Presents. With her free time, Jennifer absolutely loves to read (fiction, autobiographies, memoirs). Classically trained in piano and voice, Jennifer is learning how to play her acoustic guitar. She currently takes weekly group guitar classes at the New York City Guitar School and is enrolled in Guitar Chords 101 via Berklee College of Music’s online certification program.
