A Night at Hotel Cafe
One of my favorite artists ever!
So here’s a sentence I never thought I would say – Jennifer Knapp has returned!
Jennifer Knapp, with her lovely voice and incredibly literary lyrics, was an enormous part of my musical life after God finally caught my attention. After several years, she decided to take a break and simply disappeared from the musical landscape. And now, quietly, she has re-emerged, 7 years after the release of her last album.

So, Thursday night in Los Angeles, I was honored to be in the audience at Hotel Cafe as Jen Knapp took the stage for the first time in 4 1/2 years. She opened her set with “A Little More,” the only song she played from her previous albums. “I figure you guys have had seven years with the last three albums, so I thought I’d give you something new.” The next several songs were her brand new music, songs that she’d written over the last few months. And they were beautiful… heart-wrenching… amazing.
There’s something so inspiring and encouraging about new Jennifer Knapp music! For so long, her music belonged in my past, reminders of a time where I was not entirely put together. And now, just as I am finally working towards wholeness, as I’m finally becoming the person I was created to be, even her music is becoming new. I’m so grateful for what has transpired in my life over the last few months.
Now I have a new soundtrack to go with it as well! 
Has it really been that long? I remember seeing her at Spirit West Coast ages ago. What am I? 28?
