The Wailin’ Jennys
Flawless Folk Trio
There’s no such thing as perfection, but the harmonies of Canadian folk trio The Wailin’ Jennys are about as close as you can get. The Jennys are Nicky Mehta, Ruth Moody, and Heather Masse — three distinct voices that, together, make an achingly flawless sound as pure as 100% maple syrup. Their blend of intricate vocal lines and acoustic instrumentation creates a sonic experience that is both emotionally resonant and technically breathtaking.
What began as a one-time-only performance at a cozy guitar shop in Winnipeg quickly sparked something magical. That serendipitous evening set in motion a journey that would lead The Wailin’ Jennys to international acclaim. Over the past two decades, they’ve become one of the most beloved and respected folk acts in the world.
Their critically acclaimed albums—40 Days, Firecracker, and Bright Morning Stars—have earned them Juno Awards and comparisons to the greatest harmony-driven groups of our time. Each record explores themes of love, loss, resilience, and hope, all conveyed through hauntingly beautiful arrangements and masterful songwriting. The Jennys draw deeply from folk traditions while continuing to push the genre in new directions, always rooted in authenticity and heart.
Whether performing in storied concert halls, intimate venues, or on public radio stages like NPR’s A Prairie Home Companion, The Wailin’ Jennys captivate audiences with warmth, grace, and a natural ease that makes every show feel like a homecoming. Their live performances are an invitation to slow down, listen closely, and feel deeply.
An enchanting late-summer evening with The Wailin’ Jennys at Ogden Amphitheater? That’s almost too good to be true—but it’s happening. Don’t miss the rare chance to experience one of folk music’s finest groups under the stars.
