Summary

Female folk trio the Wailin' Jennys will perform at Old Town School Of Folk Music in October. 

What We Say

The Wailin' Jennys are Nicky Mehta, Ruth Moody, and Heather Masse - three distinct voices that together make an achingly perfect vocal sound. NPR wrote of their last Newport Folk Fest appearance, “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.” It's this respect for their craft, as well as the Wailin' Jennys heartfelt, impeccable vocal performances, that has cemented the trio's reputation in folk and roots music circles. 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. Founding members Moody and Mehta along with New York-based Masse continue to create some of the most exciting music on the folk-roots scene, stepping up their musical game with each critically lauded recording and thrilling audiences with their renowned live performances.
