The Wailin’ Jennys
Saturday, Oct. 1, 7 p.m.
Strings Music Pavilion, 950 String Road, Steamboat Springs

Starting as a happy accident of solo singer/songwriters getting together for a one-time-only performance at a tiny guitar shop in Winnipeg, Canada, The Jennys have grown over the years into one of today’s most beloved international folk acts.
