MHS graduate Jennifer Tefft will perform with her band at the Zullo Gallery on Saturday, Oct. 20.


Singer and songwriter Jennifer Tefft will return to her Medfield roots on Saturday, Oct. 20 when she will perform with her band at the Zullo Gallery.

After getting her start in the subways and on the streets of Cambridge, Tefft has released four CDs and numerous singles, and many of her songs have been used on national television shows including CSI, MTV, Stargate Universe, One Life to Live, and The Young & The Restless.

With her earthy and soulful music, Tefft has earned finalist spots in the Lillith Fair Showcase and Discmakers Independent Music World Series, as well as Boston Music Award nominations. Her single "Breathe" spent four weeks on WZLX's top five "Boston Emissions" list. She is also the recipient of "Best Alternative Album" by the Just Plain Folks Association in Hollywood, California.
