Three 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 five years after blowing in on a fresh acoustic breeze from Canada's mid-western heartland. The Wailin’ Jennys have toured three continents, and are enjoying burgeoning international acclaim and a rapidly growing fan base. They continue to garner rave reviews for their album, Firecracker, which spent over 30 weeks in the Top 5 on the Billboard Bluegrass chart, and has charted in the Top 20 on Billboard's Top Heatseakers, Top Independent Albums and Top Internet Albums. Over the past two years, The Wailin’ Jennys have made many appearances on Garrison Keiller’s “A Prairie Home Companion,” sharing the stage with luminaries such as Bonnie Raitt and Meryl Streep.
“Perhaps more beautiful than ever, The Wailin' Jennys are the darlings of the North American roots music arena.”
- The Toronto Star
