I migrated up to my second living room tonight, the ever-wonderful Freight & Salvage, to hear the the most excellent melodically vocal and multi-disciplined female folk group The Wailin' Jennys. From Winipeg, Manitoba, they're not often in the States and rarely venture south, so to have them so close and in such an intimate, accessible venue as the Freight was simply awesome. Their harmonies are unlike anything I've ever heard before; their voices blend together into a liquid, flowing and perfect expression of complementary notes. To hear them live was a great gift, and what makes them all the more incredible is how deeply and completely they enjoy what they do -- they love music, they love to sing, and they do it from their hearts and completely pour their souls into it. Gorgeous. And then I got to chat with them afterwards -- more Freight magic. It was great to hear more from Nicky about songcrafting, touring, and we digressed into discussions of the geography of Montana, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba... Yay for venues that allow you to connect with the artists who share their craft! Anyway, I highly recommend seeing them perform, and becoming acquainted with their music if you're not already.
