"My car just knew there was something different when we crossed the Mississippi."
Two years of touring Texas was all it took to get singer-songwriter Jenny Reynolds to move to Austin, a decision which came to fruition on the cross-country drive in a ¹97 Honda Civic that was crammed with everything that would fit. She arrived to a growing and dedicated following, and a friendly welcome from Austin¹s music scene, making the transition smooth and successful. This 2003 Kerrville New Folk Finalist immigrated to Austin, TX in late summer of 2003, and was featured on KUT¹s Austin Music Minute the following November. Working with Scrappy Judd Newcomb, Rob Hooper and Wil Landin, Reynolds formed The Jenny Reynolds Band soon thereafter.
"That was a pinnacle part of the drive, partly because I had never been so close to the Mississippi, and because at the moment of crossing it, I suddenly realized moving to Texas was the right thing to do."
In relocating, Reynolds leaves behind her a distinguished past in New England. Her current release, Bet on the Wind, was produced by Richard Gates (Paula Cole) and Chris Rival, and features Mary Chapin Carpenter guitarists Duke Levine and Kevin Barry. Nominated for a 1999 Boston Music Award for her debut CD Colored in Poetry, Reynolds has shared the stage with many East Coast-based singer-songwriters, including Bill Morrissey, Catie Curtis, Ellis Paul and Patty Larkin. She is an artist and Associate Producer of Signature Sounds¹ Respond compilation, which to date has sold well over the $100,000 mark, all benefiting Respond, Inc., of Somerville, MA, an organization that provides shelter and services to battered women and their families. Reynolds is also an Associate Producer of Respond II, which features Dolly Parton, Patty Griffin, and Ani diFranco.
This life-long native of Boston grew up listening to James Taylor and the Beatles. Hailed as "...a gifted guitarist..." by the Boston Herald, Reynolds started playing when she was 8; listening to Joni Mitchell and Bonnie Raitt helped Jenny to learn guitars weren't just for boys. Songs and melodies have always been a major part of Reynolds' eve
