Spurred onward by a growing fan base that swoons at their intuitive harmonies
and revels in their engaging stage presence and uplifting repertoire,
the Jennys embarked on a giddy blur of activity following the release
of their second album, Firecracker, in August, 2006. Numerous head-turning
reviews ("quiet, warm, subtle, mellifluous, almost too good to be
true," noted British daily The Independent) greeted a recording produced
by David Travers-Smith (Jane Siberry, Harry Manx) and featuring a crew
of ace musicians led by guitarist Kevin Breit (Norah Jones, k.d. lang).
The trio wooed progressively larger audiences throughout North America
while also making successful forays to Australia, the U.K. and continental
Europe. And foremost among an unfolding series of life moments have been
a second Juno Award nomination in Canada, the continuation of a much-cherished
relationship with A Prairie Home Companion (Garrison Keillor’s popular
National Public Radio show) and a memorable date alongside Rosanne Cash
at the prestigious Celtic Connections festival in Glasgow.

The duo of Russ Bailey on guitar and vocals and Steve Feinbloom on upright bass have been entertaining enthusiastic audiences for years. Russ’ percussive fingerstyle guitar and powerful vocals combined with Steve’s solid slap bass playing make for a very unique blues sound. Their repertoire includes original songs and cover tunes by some of the early blues artists from the 20s, 30s, and 40s.
