The Wailin' Jennys

The Wailin' Jennys are a celebrated Canadian folk music trio whose melodic harmonies and songwriting have touched the hearts of audiences around the world. Founded in 2002, the group began as a happy accident when three solo artists—Nickel Creek alumna Sara Watkins, Ruth Moody, and Cara Luft—were brought together for a joint performance in a guitar shop in Winnipeg, Canada. The chemistry between the singers was undeniable, and thus The Wailin' Jennys were formed. Although Cara Luft would later be replaced by Annabelle Chvostek, and then by New York native Heather Masse, the essence of the group remained the same: three distinct voices that together created a musical synergy resonating with fans of traditional and contemporary folk music.

Throughout their career, The Wailin' Jennys have garnered acclaim for their rich harmonies, introspective lyrics, and their blend of folk, country, and pop influences. Notable albums such as "40 Days", "Firecracker", and "Bright Morning Stars" have helped to cement their reputation as a force in the folk music scene. "Live at the Mauch Chunk Opera House" captures the Jennys' folk charm in a live setting, showcasing their ability to connect with audiences through both song and story. Their 2017 album, "Fifteen", is a celebration of their 15 years together, featuring covers of beloved songs that have had a significant influence on the trio over the years. As they continue to create and perform, The Wailin' Jennys hold a dear place in the hearts of folk enthusiasts and continue to contribute to the tapestry of Canadian music heritage.
