Mary Jennings Nashville/NYC, USA
|
Although her writing began in high
school, Jennings’ surge in musical
expression started after the sudden
death of her mother. “This tragedy
rocked me to the core, but there is so
much beauty in what it allowed me to
do,” she says. “All of my emotions
came pouring out in the form of
melody.” At the time, her father, a
former musician, gave her the option
to go through therapy or record an
album. He knew both would be equally
helpful to her, but by recording her
music, she would be able to have
something to hold on to and share with
others for a lifetime. With “Femtastic”
and now "Storybook EP" complete,
Jennings has built on the lessons of
her life and musical journey and
courageously perfected the delicate
balance between vulnerability, honesty
and grit.
“I believe that the difference between
an artist and the average person is a
fearless and relentless willingness to
expose their quarks, oddities, secrets,
and passions for all of the world to see
and hear.” Jennings is certainly no
exception to the rule. Her voice and
words are her ways of expressing
happiness, mourning, anxiety, anger,
and excitement, allowing her listeners
to laugh, cry, and live every one of her
emotions. Although she is small in
stature, Jennings’ music reflects an
enormous strength and drive that is
uniquely hers.
Every now and then, there is a
voice that slips from the darkness
and into the light. It resounds like
the crack of thunder, it flows like
the solar winds. It lulls you into a
warmth of security and then pulls
you under, drowning you in a sea
of emotions. This is Jennings, this
is true artistry, this is the definition
of unique. This is an audio
addiction in the purest form. Doc
