Artist History "Starstruck", the band's third full-length release, brings to life the elements that make the Jennies such an instantly accessible band: catchy, concise song structures; a full, aggressive guitar sound; thundering rhythm section and smooth, melodic vocals accented by soaring harmonies. The bands' previous releases "Pop n' Serve" and "Bloom" served up equally pleasing portions of melodic pop and have helped establish the Jennies as one of the premiere pop bands in the Bay Area. The albums have also sold well in area stores and through other distribution channels nationwide. The band has played extensively around California and the Western U.S. since their formation in late 1993.

Group Members Jeff Shelton - Vocals, Guitars Doug Free - Bass Nick Laquintano - Drums

Albums Bloom, Pop 'n' Serve, Starstruck, Peer Pressure, & Stratosphere

Press Reviews "...Spinning Jennies are about as listenable and likable an outfit as any that has trod the local club circuit..." \ - San Francisco Bay Guardian "...the reason why these guys stand out is that they write SONGS. They have melodies and hooks..." - Snack Cake Magazine "Their sound is an engaging blend of stripped down Shoes and some rootsier influences from bands like the Connells and Right as Rain." - Amplifier Magazine
