Jeni Grouws: Heartbreak & Misery
Jam
Air Date: 08/17/2026
A sly warning wrapped in a soul-drenched performance, “3 Steps from Heartbreak and Misery” lets Jeni Grouws dig deep vocally as she counts down the trouble waiting just across the dance floor. With soul-deep vocals, fearless songwriting and a roots-Americana sound steeped in blues, soul and rock, Jeni Grouws brings both power and vulnerability to every song. A Wisconsin native now based in Omaha through a multi-year residency at The Music House, Grouws first earned national recognition as co-founder of the Billboard-charting Avey Grouws Band. As a solo artist, she is carving out a sound all her own—one shaped by grit, groove, emotional honesty and an instinct for stories that linger. Whether delivering a full-throated anthem or a quieter, more reflective song, Grouws creates music that feels lived-in, immediate and deeply human.
