Under the Radar Festival:
Wailin' Jennys
Friday, June 27, 2008 • 6:30 p.m.
 With three extraordinary voices and one singular vision, The Wailin' Jenny's blew in on a fresh acoustic breeze from Canada's heartland more than five years ago. The trio is spurred onward by a growing and enthusiastic fan base, including Garrison Keillor, who has featured them on A Prairie Home Companion. Their second album Firecracker garnered them a second Juno nomination and a flurry of critical acclaim.
The Wailin' Jennys will close this concert.
