“The Wailin’ Jennys are more than just impeccable bluegrass harmonizers; they’re also terrific bandleaders who give their traditional roots music a sense of real reverence.”- NPR

Starting as a happy accident of solo singer/songwriters getting together for a one-time-only performance at a tiny guitar shop in Winnipeg, Manitoba, The Wailin’ Jennys have grown over the years into one of today’s most beloved international folk acts, stepping up their musical game with each critically lauded recording, and thrilling audiences with their renowned live performances.

In 2004, The Wailin’ Jennys released their first full-length album, 40 Days, to great critical acclaim, netting a 2005 Juno Award (Canadian Grammy) for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year. The Jennys’ sophomore album, 2006’s Firecracker, won a 2007 Folk Alliance Award for Contemporary Release of the Year and spent over 56 weeks on the Billboard charts. For 2011’s Juno-winning Bright Morning Stars, The Wailin’ Jennys joined the ranks of Lucinda Williams and Emmylou Harris and recorded with award-winning producer Mark Howard.

In 2017 The Jennys celebrated 15 years together as a group and released their latest album, Fifteen. This year, the Jennys are embarking on tour while road testing new songs for an upcoming studio album.
