Not many decide to serve their country, go to college for a STEM career, and still be able to pursue their dreams of being a country music superstar. Although she was known in her hometown as "the girl with a great voice", Jenny never saw herself pursuing music as a career - believing it was vanity based.
Coming from a family who had served, Jenny knew it was only a matter of time before she too would enlist. Her friends and family were shocked, as Jenny was a varsity cheerleader and shy in personality. Jenny proved them all wrong and went on to serve four years with one tour in the Middle East. During her deployment, her father shipped her a 6 string Takamine acoustic guitar. Jenny began entertaining her fellow squad members and they encouraged her to pursue a country music career after hearing her songwriting and a voice that moved them to tears.
After being gone for over a year, Jenny felt the stress of the deployment and experienced a therapeutic effect from songwriting. She also saw the healing effect her voice and songs had on other soldiers she worked with. It was then that Jenny found her true calling - songwriting.
Finally listening to her heart, Jenny moved to Nashville in 2018 and recorded her self-written and self funded EP with Grammy award winning producer Jamie Tate of The Rukkus Room. That EP followed with a music video filmed in Hollywood, CA for the catchy song, "Driving with the Top Down" and an invite to the Grand 'Ole Opry radio station WSM Today in Nashville for a live on-air performance. Later in 2019, Jenny also performed at the Nashville VA and other various Yellow Ribbon events around the country inspiring other veterans with her drive and resilience.
Since her release of the summer bop, Jenny has signed with a busy booking agency and toured all over the East Coast at festivals and theaters playing over 30 shows in 2020 and 2021 despite the pandemic.
Jenny's vocals have been lauded by audiences and industry professionals as "huge and soar
ing" and her songwriting as "authentic, clever, and from the heart".
The end of 2021 saw the release of "Lights of Our Hometown" with UK artist Danny McMahon and has streamed over 10,000 plays since its release on October 22.
Fans of Jenny Grace are hungry for more music in 2022 and can expect more releases as she has been recognized as a force in the industry and determined to break barriers in the genre.
