The Jennys began a new tour in February after a sabbatical of more than a year. They released their latest recording, “Live at the Mauch Chunk Opera House,” in mid-August and expect to release a new studio recording by summer. The group performed at Guilford in September 2006.
Soprano Ruth Moody and mezzo Nicky Mehta are original members of the group, which was formed in 2002. Alto Heather Masse joined the group in 2007. All three are vocalists and instrumentalists. They have toured with fiddler and mandolinist Jeremy Penner.
The group has three other recordings, including the Juno Award-winning “40 Days” (2004) and “Firecracker” (2006), which spent more than 30 weeks on the Billboard Bluegrass chart.
