At just twelve years old, Jennifer Finch ran away from home, setting the tone for a life marked by extremes. By fourteen, she was struggling with heroin addiction, and by nineteen, she had started her first band with notable figures like Courtney Love and Kat Bjelland.

Finch's story is one of remarkable resilience, as she navigated the highs and lows of the music industry, sharing stages with iconic bands like Pearl Jam and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Her memoir, Shooting Up and Making Out, is a testament to the power of music and the human spirit, completed shortly before her untimely death in July 2026.
