Lil’ Red and the Rooster, an acclaimed blues duo starring Westerville North graduate Jennifer Milligan, will play at Java Central Saturday January 31 after their return from competing the International Blues Challenge in Memphis.
When Jennifer Milligan was a student at Westerville North High School, she never anticipated playing the blues.
The Westerville native was trained in disciplines such as theater, tap dancing and acting, and studied at the University of Cincinnati Conservatory of Music before moving to New York City.
But the intense workload of performing was too much for Milligan.
“I broke my voice doing musical theater,” she said. “I was going to quit singing.”
