Event Description

"Sensual, frank and fearless", said 'Calgary Fast Forward Magazine' about performing songwriter Jenny Allen. Her first solo recording, 'Something to Say', produced by Canadian folk legend Valdy, led to widespread critical acclaim and invitations to play major festivals both in Canada and the US. Opening for the likes of Taj Mahal, Jennifer Warnes, and Shawn Colvin, Jenny's music has invited comparisons to Mary Chapin Carpenter and Tracy Chapman, swinging effortlessly between a rich variety of styles such as roots, blues, pop and rock.

On the heels of her acclaimed sophomore release 'If I Fall', Allen joined forces with Calgary-based songwriters Lin Elder and Lori Reid. Their trio 'The Fates' became one of Alberta's most beloved concert acts, receiving extensive airplay and touring throughout Western Canada over nine years in support of their three studio CD releases. From 2011 to 2015, Jenny teamed up with Leslie Alexander, forming Allen and Alexander, touring extensively throughout Western Canada while continuing to write and perform as a solo artist, releasing her first solo project in ten years in the spring of 2012. For Jenny's many fans it was no exaggeration to say the record was highly anticipated, featuring production by BCCMA Producer of the Year John MacArthur Ellis and a set list of original songs well-seasoned with experience, insight, and emotional impact.

In 2014 an invitation to join long time friends Don Pope and Rhonda Padmos in Mexico led to a four year stint doing musical theater in Puerto Vallarta at Act II Stages theatre, performing in 'Both Sides Now, a Joni Mitchell Tribute', 'California Dreaming' as Mama Cass, 'Coolsville, a Rickie Lee Jones Tribute' and 'The Women of Woodstock'.

Currently booking her 2023/2024 touring schedule, and with plans to record a new project this year, Jenny is soon to appear clean across Canada and the US, captivating audiences with her songs and stage presence and clearly demonstrating she's a musical force to be reckoned with. The Victoria Folk Music Society is thrilled to welcome Jenny back to Victoria and our stage!!
