Jenny Shawhan
In reviewing Jenny Shawhan’s first album release in 2021 titled, “Don’t Be Afraid”, Steven Wine from the Associated Press wrote, “Jenny Shawhan has a big voice and knows how to use it”. Comparisons have been made from Bonnie Raitt and Melissa Etheridge to Alison Krauss and Dolly Parton, but Shawhan is no copycat. Her music is a blend of influences and experience that she presents honestly and without pretension. Her album, Don’t Be Afraid was produced by award-winning producer/engineer/ steel guitarist John Macy (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Los Lobos). Jenny is based in Colorado and she and her music have been featured on Americana Highways, Colorado’s KDVR FOX Channel 2’s Morning Show, and twice in the online mag, Voyage/Denver.
