'Damn Tall Buildings' and Comedian Jen Kober

Spend Valentine’s Day Eve tapping your feet and laughing alongside loved ones. Damn Tall Buildings started as three friends busking bluegrass and fiddle tunes on the streets of Boston & NYC (thus the band’s name). They continue that vibe singing about the beauty and glory in the mundane struggle of everyday life, laughing, and looking out the window and dreaming about what else might be out there.

In addition to winning Snap Judgement’s Comedic Performance of the Year in 2017, she has played a variety of roles on shows like The Mandalorian, The Righteous Gemstones, Disney’s Bunk’d, American Horror Story, The Purge, among so many others.
