The Wailin’ Jennys are three young Canadian performers whose harmonies and songwriting have been called "spine-tingling," "angelic" and "breathtaking."  The group was formed more-or-less as a lark – all three women were established solo artists and admired in Canadian folk circles for their singing and gifted songwriting – and the so-called "supergroup" was meant to last for one night only at a local folk club.  As fate would have it, the audience went crazy for them performing in that configuration and a Canadian folk phenomenon was born.  Their stirring voices and richly emotional songs have wooed audiences around the world and earned them nominations for numerous prestigious awards.  The Jennys have regularly appeared on Garrison Keillor’s popular National Public Radio show A Prairie Home Companion as well as performed alongside Rosanne Cash at the prestigious Celtic Connections Festival in Glasgow.
