JEN LEDGER // Stepping into the Limelight By Doug Doppler Best known as the singing drummer in the platinum selling, Grammy nominated band Skillet, Jen Ledger’s debut solo release Ledger has been garnering much deserved praise. A rich blend of catchy vocals and tunes, this five- song EP is a great listen for those of us looking for something ‘heavier than Sunday morning’ that’s also fueled with a redemptive message. Jen is touring in support of this disc opening shows for Skillet and on her own, and in case you were wondering, she’s not leaving Skillet! [WM] Jen, a big hello and thanks so much for joining us! [Jen Ledger] Thank you for having me, I’m so happy to be here. [WM] Noting that Skillet has reached the #1 spot on Billboard’s Top Christian Albums chart no less than three times, what was your reaction when you found out that Ledger debuted at #5 on Billboard’s Emerging Artist chart?
