About Us/Bio
Jernee Mill is a five-piece Americana/Alt-Folk band that brings a Jersey attitude to each performance. Rich songwriting, along with great vocal arrangements and melodic hooks keep the audience engaged in the storytelling side of things with this group hailing from Sayreville, NJ. Jernee Mill, named after the road that leads to the legendary concert venue - Starland Ballroom, combines the influences of Springsteen, Dylan, Petty,The Lumineers and Brian Fallon to bring a fresh brand of storytelling to the astute music fans of Central New Jersey and the Jersey Shore.
History In Brief:
Formed in 2017, Jernee Mill is a combination of two brothers Shaun (Guitar) and Keith (Drums) Turner, their cousin, Kyle Zielinski (Guitar) and their life-long friend and lead vocalist, Jenn Wagner. In late 2018, the quartet joined forces with a veteran of the NJ music scene, Andrew Rohloff(Life Without Warning, Statik Silence and Ronin).
Since their inception, they have worked non-stop on their writing skills in sessions and studio work as they created early demos at Exeter Studios in Freehold, NJ. Their debut album, Empty Throne, is the result of a year’s worth of dedication, sweat and blood. Empty Throne offers the listener image-driven lyrics and rustic melodies that reflect their views on relationships and social issues as well as the joy and pain of decoding an increasingly “selfie” influenced world.
