The Wailin' Jennys

Strand Theatre concert

The Wailin' Jennys
Contemporary Folk/Pop

8:00pm

Eight years after blowing in on a fresh acoustic breeze from Canada’s mid-western heartland, The Jennys are now a premiere act on today’s folk/roots scene, winning fans the world over with their engaging stage presence and impressive musicianship.

With their varying backgrounds, each of the Jenny's is unique in their individual expression. Together they forge a unified folk-pop sound—all delivered with the irresistible vocal power of three.

Soprano Ruth Moody (vocals, guitar, accordion, banjo, bodhrán) is a classically trained vocalist and pianist who first came on the scene as an accomplished, versatile singer of traditional and Celtic music. Mezzo Nicky Mehta (vocals, guitar, harmonica, drums, ukulele), who was nominated for a Canadian Music Award for her 2002 solo album Weather Vane, is a trained dancer raised on everything from rock to classical music and heavily influenced by alternative pop. Alto Heather Masse (vocals, upright bass) comes steeped in both bluegrass and jazz traditions. She is a Jazz Voice graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music and has also performed with the Wayfaring Strangers, Joy Kills Sorrow, Heather & The Barbarians, and is a frequent solo quest on A Prairie Home Companion.

Their newest release Live at Mauch Chunk Opera House captures the magic of their live performances with show-stopping harmonies and dynamic instrumental solos from all three Jennys and their sideman Jeremy Penner. It has charted in the top ten on the Billboard charts since its 2009 release and has earned them continued critical praise.

The Jenny's are back by popular demand! Don't miss them when they come to town.

“a timeless quality...the songs could have been written last week, or at any point in the last two centuries.” – PopMatters

“Their sweeping melodicism defies boundaries, feeling at once edgy and familiar, delivered in harmonies that could melt a Manitoba February.” - Boston Globe
