My name is Jeri Katherine Howell. I am 13 years old and I’ve always been concerned and driven to protect our earth. The way I look at it, it’s the only place we have to love and go on with our lives and we need to take care of it while we can. The trees, baby birds chirping in early spring, all the amazing species on our planet, they are slowly being destroyed.
When I first heard a song had been written by a local musician (Jeff Ellis) that was inspired by my own songwriting/singing, I was flattered. But what really hit me the most was when I first heard Change Our Ways. The lyrics spoke to me in such a way that I immediately agreed to sing this song. It was and still is such an honor. My whole life, I’ve wanted to change the minds of others by my words and actions. This was my opportunity to hopefully change the minds of my generation, generations before me, and generations to come. Life can be taken for granted, but I’m more than willing to show how delicate and vital our participation is in the care of our planet. Just like Jeff Ellis’s lyrics, ‘ I have hope! If we care there are solutions. We must change our ways, to stop the earth’s pollutions’.

"Winterjam 08 is coming to Eagle Lake. An 8th grader from Frankfort will be performing, but don't be fooled by her youth. Jeri Katherine Howell is mature beyond her years. She has been performing for about 3 years already. Her 1st stage performance was at the Bluegrass Festival in Frankfort at the age of 10. Jeri taught herself to play guitar and sing,........ It seems that she's a natural music prodigy. Her music style is Americana and she has a long list of accomplishments and performances."

Fri/February 9 – “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” Concert @ Mecca

Perhaps the only event you’ll ever have the opportunity to attend that features belly dancing and clogging. Here’s all the info from a recent Mecca email: “Come and see some of Kentucky's most talented women cutting loose at Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, an evening of music and dance to be held at Mecca Live Studio and Gallery at 451 B Chair Avenue in Lexington, Kentucky on Friday, February 9th at 7 PM. Headlining will be Carla Gover, Diane Timmons and Jeri Katherine Howell, a diverse trio of women who will perform a variety of music based in Americana and Kentucky sounds, but branching out and experimenting with pop, classics, country, and folk. They will accompany themselves on guitars, banjos, keyboards, drums, flutes, and whatever their whims dictate, and will play a selection of traditional, original, and tasteful covers by their favorite writers. Be prepared for some ethereal 3-part-harmony and some get-down, rhythmic jams. A host of special guests make the evening extra-nice, with clogging group Hell or Highwater, The Rakadu Gypsy Dancers, and singer Karly Dawn Higgins. Admission is $8.50, all ages welcome. Tickets available at Third St. Stuff (257 N. Limestone, near the corner of 3rd Street) or online at http://www.spacesongs.net.
