The Wailin' Jennys

A pun on the country singer Waylon Jennings, The Wailin’ Jennys are a Canadian folk music trio originating in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Founded in 2002 when a local music shop brought together three solo acts for a performance. The band has since released three albums,two of which won two Juno Awards, Canada’s top music industry award http://junoawards.ca. The group is also featured regularly on Garrison Keillor’s show A Prairie Home Companion. Thr ... ee extraordinary voices, two founding singer-songwriters, one singular vision: The Wailin’ Jennys continue to evolve into far more than the melodious sum of their individual talents years after blowing in on a fresh acoustic breeze from Canada’s mid-western heartland. Spurred onward by a growing fan base that swoons at their intuitive harmonies and revels in their engaging stage presence and uplifting repertoire, the Jennys embarked on a giddy blur of activity following the release of their second album, Firecracker, in August, 2006. Numerous head-turning reviews (“quiet, warm, subtle, mellifluous, almost too good to be true,” noted British daily The Independent) greeted a recording produced by David Travers-Smith (Jane Siberry, Harry Manx) and featuring a crew of ace musicians led by guitarist Kevin Breit (Norah Jones, k.d. lang). The trio wooed progressively larger audiences throughout North America while also making successful forays to Australia, the U.K. and continental Europe. See more [+]
