Meet Jennings
Mary's 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.
It is this honesty in Jennings' music that has attracted praise from fans and press nationwide. "Jennings' music is sweet, lush, powerful, full of great hooks, intelligent and meaningful to boot! I love it!" said Heather Miller-Rodriguez of 100.1FM KRUU. Platinum award winning producer John Rowe agrees Jennings' music is "creative and original... A breath of fresh air!"
2009 was a banner year for Mary professionally. Jennings has worked with Billboard charting songwriters, toured with national artists and has had music placed in a number of popular television shows. While that small taste of success has been nice, Jennings values a connection with the audience most. "Live performances give me such a rush. It is one of the best parts about being a musician. To me, it was what truly brings the music to life. To know that you only have a few moments to capture and audience and keep them engaged long enough to fall in love with you and your music is a difficult task, but one that I wouldn't trade for any other profession."
By any measure, Mary can look forward to good days ahead. Nightwaves said it best, "I sense big things in Jennings' future."
