About Jenny Whiteley:
A new CD from Jenny Whiteley is always something to celebrate, but for her growing number of fans the release of ‘Forgive and Forget’ will prove more than worth the wait.
Great music has the power to heal, and if Jenny’s concerts are like a reunion that passes all too quickly, her CDs take their time and sink in deeply like a letter from that same long lost friend to be treasured and re-read over time.
She first came to national attention while singing and playing with Heartbreak Hill, the groundbreaking bluegrass group from Ontario who were nominated for a Juno award in 1999. But, that was an honour that had to wait until her self-produced debut came out in 2000 and Jenny won the roots album of the year award. By 2003, things really got rolling with her second Juno winning release ‘Hopetown’, the first CD produced by Steve Dawson for his Black Hen Music label, marking the beginning of a fruitful and productive working relationship that continued with 2006’s ‘Dear’ and has reached its highest point with ‘Forgive and Forget’.
