Jennifer, born in Staten Island N.Y., daughter of actor John Savage (the Dear Hunter) left Cape Cod in 1990 with her dog and her bass guitar to pursue her love of music and acting in L.A. After a couple years of small parts [Primary Motive, Someone is Watching, Changing Habits, Killing Obsession] Jennifer landed a role on D.R. Quinn Medicine Woman as the Swedish immigrant Ingrid, all the while playing around L.A and writing songs with her band whats the bob. Eventually Jen was ready to make a real recording of her band, which is how she met Ronnie Champagne.
Ronnie, a native Canadian, left Calgary at age 24 to get busy on the Los Angeles and Seattle music scenes engineering and producing cds for the likes of Janes Addiction, Social Distortion, Alice In Chains, My Sisters Machine and Remy Zero. When he met Jennifer he had just returned from working in Europe producing and mixing cds for bands wanting that American sound.
Jennifer and Ronnie hooked up in Topanga, California in 1996. Their relationship grew and they began creating recordings in their home studio beginning with a multi media performance piece about reincarnation called Mobius. What would become Jennifer Savage was a sound track for a screenplay about a rock star named Lucidity. Lucidity started out loud and heavy but was interrupted by Ronnie getting called back to Europe to go on a 68 city, 20th anniversary European tour with Portugals pre-eminent rock band, EMIs Xutos e Pontapes. They both went, Ronnie playing guitar at outdoor festivals, stadiums and coliseums for massive crowds in Portugal, Madeira, the Azores Islands and Germany, including the first ever-western music festival in Mozambique, Africa. After the tour, they formed a band with Xutos drummer Kalu Ferreira to pick up where they left off with the Lucidity songs, calling the project Jennifer Savage.
Jennifer and Ronnie returned to the east coast of the U.S. in fall 2001 and immediately got married and moved to NYC where they spent 4 years writing songs and playing around New York. They produced a cd of pop songs written for kids called I like to watch TV two electronic avant-garde cds CHAMP 1 and 2, Only Human and are now working on releasing there new cd so keep your ears open J
