THE WAILIN’ JENNYS
THE WAILIN’ JENNYS
The Wailin’ Jennys was founded in 2002, when a Winnipeg guitar shop called Sled Dog Music brought Ruth Moody, Nicky Mehta and Cara Luft together for a joint performance. The show was well received and the owner scheduled a follow-up performance[1] and suggested they “go on tour and call themselves the Wailin’ Jennys.”[2] The group’s name is a pun on the name of country singer Waylon Jennings.
