Album Notes

In a room lined with sweaty bodies, noise, and smoke, appears the tiny silhouette of a delicate looking young woman - seemingly no match for the rugged crowd. She opens her mouth; the room goes silent.

"When Jenny picks up her guitar, it’s incredible to discover that her husky voice and thoughtful lyrics can come from such a tiny frame" - Tara McInnis (Xaverian Weekly)

An audacious and charismatic songwriter and performer, Jenny MacDonald delivers a whole-hearted performance whether driving her way through the blues, stomping her way through dirty rock songs, swinging through jazz tunes, or resting peacefully in a touching love song. Jenny's songwriting style weaves its way between everyday life and a world of make-believe, which will leave you wondering which stories are really true, and which are a creation of her imagination.

In February, 2011, Jenny launched a fan-funded campaign to complete her second full length album, "Bye, Bye, Mr. Bluesman". With the generous and relentless support of her fans, the fund generated $3233.45 in just 30 days, and has been a hot topic in entertainment news.

"Bye, Bye, Mr. Bluesman" weaves through stories of 'hellos', 'goodbyes', frustrations, and butterflies in a mix of blues and 20s-inspired swing. Recorded by East Coast Music Award recipient Scott Hupman (The Hupman Brothers), the album features a number of prominent Canadian musicians including; Ian Sherwood, Rob Crowell (The Mellotones), Matt Myer (Gypsophelia), Ryan Hupman (The Hupman Brothers), and more.

Her debut album, "Jenny Kissed Me" (2008), has recieved local, regional, and national airplay including interviews, performances, and features on programming such as, Sook Yin Lee's "Definitely Not the Opera (DNTO)" (CBC National Radio), "Atlantic Airwaves" with Glenn Miesner and Stephanie Domet (CBC Radio), "Eastlink Magazine" Television Feature (Eastlink Television), and many more.
