Anthology

Three solo singer/songwriters joined forces for what they thought would be a one-time performance at a tiny Canadian guitar shop. The three had such onstage chemistry the guitar shop owner asked them back for a repeat performance and was soon convincing them to tour.

The Wailing Jennys was born and in 2004, they released “40 Days”. The album won them a Juno Award (Canadian Grammy) and, buoyed by their appearances on “A Prairie Home Companion”, they began selling out venues across the US and Canada.

Their 2007 follow-up “Firecracker”, which delved into alt-country, pop and rock, was awarded a Juno and charted on Billboard for 56 weeks. Their thrilling live shows are captured on 2009’s “Live at Mauch Chunk Opera House”, which has won critical acclaim.

The Jennys have a wide range of musical backgrounds – from classically trained pianists to harmonica and ukulele virtuosos, they continue to pursue successful solo careers while presenting a united folk front.
