(Have they been giving us wonderful Roots, Reggae and Outlaw Country for that long?). The Cluny? Good beer, average venue. The band are a Winnipeg acoustic roots trio, combining the talents of Nicky Mehta, Ruth Moody and Annabelle Chvostek. They draw obvious comparisons from fellow Canadians, The Be Good Tanyas and Po' Girl, but the thing that really makes you go wow about the Jennys is their harmonies. They are just breathtaking.
