Ep. 25 - Jenn Iona

From her owl talon earrings down to her fancy Goodwill boots, Folkston, Georgia black water muse, Okefenokee Swamp philosopher, and soulful songstress-storyteller, Jenn Iona, graces Episode 25: Something In The Water with her lovely face, infectious laugh, humorous tales, and evocative songs. ‘Fire around’, the Native American meaning of her middle name, Iona, lends itself naturally to the talented singer-songwriter and employee of Kings Bay Naval Base, as she lit up the Caution Light Media studio with tales of local lore and legends: Okefenokee boogie woman, Tall Betsy, and sidekick, Palsy Baby, a fictitious duo designed to keep swamp children from straying too far from home; and how her own personal nighttime visit to swamp baroness Lydia Stone’s grave resulted in a sudden, unexplained blaze of fire and a quick exit from High Bluff Cemetery. She’s as much at home around spiders, snakes, and alligators as she is around an acoustic guitar and a well-written song, as proven by her podcast performance of originals: “Hop A Train”, “Lovely Bones”, “No Pooie”, and “Ode To Jackie Carter”. Topped off with a Tail of the Weak tribute to the heroes and those lost on 9/11/2001, this episode is a must for swampwise, whistle-knucklin’, cryptozoology lovers everywhere.
