In addition to her own groups, Jennie has been hired to sing with many other groups as both a freelance vocalist and permanent member. She has also been hired for studio work. Most notably, recently in 2024, Jennie joined the prestigious project the Chiclettes led by the Coda Band Production Company. The Chiclettes are a high energy tribute band paying homage to female artists and girl groups throughout the decades. The group performs all over the tristate area and country, as well as on cruise ships, primarily performing in bigger venues, such as theaters and amphitheaters. The Chiclettes are widely known in NY and NJ and have been building a fan base since the 80s. More information on the Chiclettes: https://www.chiclettes.com/
