Jenny Tolman
​


Soft-spoken in conversation, 19-year-old Jenny Tolman is bold and courageous behind a guitar, able to make sense of life’s challenges by putting them under a verbal microscope. Her voice mixes the smokiness of Shelby Lynne with the accessibility of your next-door neighbor, and her self-written stories ring true for just about anyone who hears them.

"Her songwriting, inspired by real-world issues, is beyond her age." says producer Judy Rodman, an Academy of Country Music award-winner. "So is her motivation."

“My music is very honest,” Tolman says. “My goal is to help other people. If I keep myself hidden, then that’s not really going to help anyone.”

Her song “Damn Cigarettes” placed second in the country category in the Unsigned Only songwriting competition, which features such notable judges as Rosanne Cash, Dustin Lynch and Craig Morgan.
