Inman Perk Gainesville welcomes Mary Jennings! April 15th @ 8 PM!

Mary Jennings

Drawing inspiration from musicians like Imogen Heap, Annie Lennox, Kate Bush and Moby, Jennings’ surge in musical expression started after the loss of her mother. “This tragedy rocked me to the core, but there is so much beauty in what it allowed me to do,” she says. “All of my emotions came pouring out in the form of melody”.

Jennings has built on the lessons of her life and musical journey and courageously perfected the delicate balance between vulnerability, honesty and grit. “I believe that the difference between an artist and the average person is a fearless and relentless willingness to expose their quarks, oddities, secrets, and passions for all of the world to see and hear.”
