Jenny Wren and Her Borrowed Wings are a hidden gem. Those in the know who discover this interesting and inventive trio, will not be disappointed. The band deliver a jazzed-up bombardment of rootsy musicianship that effortlessly intertwines with their stripped back earthy core. The result, a unique and impassioned sound, laid bare and beautiful in its honesty.
Lead singer and double bassist, Jenny Trilsbach, is the modest centrepiece of the band. It is especially her phenomenal vocals that make this band a special experience. A beautiful and powerful hurricane that touches the heart of the listener, starts up the moment she begins to sing. Joining Jenny Wren on her powerhouse vocals and heartbeat double bass are the superbly talented guitarists; Ben Fisher and Ben Gallon, performing a musical dance with each other, in perfect synchrony and with a delicious dirt-road sound.
Across their four fantastic albums, the band showcase their mesmerising acoustic blues with great song-writing, creating powerful Rhythm and Blues statements that come straight from the heart. Playing their instruments with an intuitive togetherness, the beguiling sound of this trio is music to your ears.
