About Me

"Jenni's on top of it."   James McMurtry
"Jenni Finlay CARES! All too rare, these days. She can do no wrong." Gurf Morlix
“For an artist, the greatest gift is to be able to concentrate on writing and performing while knowing that someone else is making the right calls on his behalf. Thanks to Jenni, I have that luxury. Her results have been incredible and the difference she has made in my career is astonishing. She makes this fun!!!” Jason Eady
