The Wailin' Jennys - Presented by PineCone, Apr 15, 2010
Canadian Acoustic Trio 8:00 PM 4/15/2010
Category: Raleigh Concert event in North Carolina
Description of this Raleigh Event: Two years ago, the Canadian acoustic trio The Wailin’ Jennys performed to a sold out house in Fletcher Theater. Because you demanded it, the Jennys are back for what is sure to be another evening of brilliant harmonies and meaningful lyrics. Soprano Ruth Moody (guitar, banjo, accordion, bodhran) and mezzo Nicky Mehta (guitar, harmonica, ukulele, percussion) are charter members who've anchored the Jennys since the first line-up formed in their Winnipeg hometown. The critical third voice, an alto who fills out the chordal range of the group’s brilliant harmonies, is stand-up bass player Heather Masse. Don’t miss your opportunity to catch the Jennys while they are back in Raleigh. http://www.thewailinjennys.com or www.pinecone.org for additional info. PineCone Box Office: 919-664-8302
