A folk-rock voice from the coffee shops, still writing songs that stick.
For a good sense of his sound, try 'Century Spring' or 'East Of Eden'. They're both straightforward, well-built songs that show what he does.
Jennings writes songs that feel lived-in, not just performed. You hear it in 'Century Spring', a track that carries some of that early Dylan and Neil Young influence without sounding like a tribute. His music has turned up in films and TV, and he's played with folks like Andrew Bird, but the songs themselves, like 'East Of Eden', are what keep people listening.
He started playing in Minneapolis coffee shops and put out his first album in 1999. After 'Birds Flying Away' in 2003, which had 'Something About Your Love' on it, he kept recording through the 2000s with albums like 'The Flood and the Mercy' and 'Boneclouds'. He's stayed based in the Minneapolis scene, writing and releasing songs ever since.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
